Temporarily Preserved Mini Gherkins from Mexico
Mini gherkins held in a light preservative solution (e.g., sulfur dioxide or brine) for short-term storage before industrial pickling. They cannot be consumed directly due to the treatment, fitting the 'unsuitable for immediate consumption' criterion. These gherkins are of a maximum diameter of 19 mm and are intended for use in the manufacture of finished gherkins, aligning with the tariff item's scope.

Import Tips
• Confirm the gherkins' diameter does not exceed 19 mm and that they are for manufacturing finished gherkins; keep purchase orders or processing agreements as evidence
• Ensure the preservative treatment is provisional and not for direct consumption, as per Chapter Note 5
• Check if any supplementary tariff measures apply by consulting the CBSA's customs tariff updates
