Fresh Thompson Seedless grapes are white table grapes harvested during the off-season period (not December 1 to May 14), characterized by their pale green-yellow skin and seedless nature. They fall under HTS 0806.10.60.25 as fresh white variety grapes entered at other times of the year. These grapes are prized for their crisp texture and sweet flavor, commonly used for fresh consumption.
