Persian Cucumber from Germany
Long, slender cucumbers known as Persian cucumbers, typically seedless with thin, edible skin, imported fresh or chilled during March 1 to April 30 from greenhouse production. They fall under HTS 0707.00.4050 due to their specific variety, seasonal entry period, greenhouse cultivation, and exclusion from other cucumber categories. These are favored for their crisp texture and mild flavor in salads and snacks.

Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within March 1 to April 30; late shipments may reclassify to lower-duty periods under 0707.00.40.60
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming greenhouse origin and pest-free status to avoid APHIS inspections
• Label clearly as 'Persian' variety with weight and origin to prevent misclassification as standard cucumbers
