English Cucumber

Long seedless cucumbers, also known as English or hothouse cucumbers, are typically grown in greenhouses and measure 12-18 inches in length with thin, burpless skin. They fall under HTS 0707.00.60.26 as fresh or chilled, greenhouse-grown, long seedless varieties entered July 1 to August 31. These are distinct from shorter, seeded pickling cucumbers due to their size and seedless nature.
