Fresh Persian Cucumbers from China

Persian cucumbers are small, thin-skinned cucumbers with a crisp texture, typically weighing less than 0.5 kg each, imported fresh or chilled during the winter period from December 1 to February's end.

These are popular for salads and snacking due to their mild flavor and lack of bitterness.

Import Tips

• Obtain a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country confirming cucumbers are free from pests like cucumber beetles, required for U.S. entry under APHIS regulations

• Verify entry date falls between December 1 and last day of February to qualify under this seasonal subheading; otherwise, classify under non-seasonal codes

• Avoid common pitfalls like inadequate cooling documentation—provide temperature logs showing maintained at 4-7°C to prevent spoilage claims at customs
