Fresh Persian Cucumbers from Canada

Persian cucumbers are small, thin-skinned, seedless cucumbers harvested fresh or chilled, ideal for slicing in salads. They fall under HTS 0707.00.50.85 as 'other' cucumbers entered during specified seasonal periods (May 1-Jun 30 or Sep 1-Nov 30), distinguishing them from standard gherkins or greenhouse varieties. These are not suitable for immediate pickling and are imported for fresh market consumption.
