Cornichon Pickles from Japan
Cornichon Pickles are French-style tiny cucumbers preserved in vinegar with shallots and tarragon. They are a classic gherkin type and fall under tariff item 2001.10.00 as cucumbers preserved by vinegar or acetic acid. The traditional European recipe and delicate flavor do not affect the tariff classification.
