Refrigerator Dill Pickles from Mexico
Refrigerator Dill Pickles are quick-process cucumbers in vinegar-dill brine designed for refrigeration, not shelf-stable. They are classified under tariff item 2001.10.00 as cucumbers preserved by acetic acid regardless of storage method. Lower heat processing preserves crunch but does not change the tariff classification.
