Last updated: April 2026 dataFew fresh vegetable headings carry as granular a tariff structure as cucumbers and gherkins: the US schedule segments entries by three seasonal windows (year-round, December 1–end of February, and March 1–April 30), greenhouse origin, organic certification, and cucumber type (Persian, long seedless, and other), producing more than twenty active 10-digit lines. Mexico is the dominant supplier by a wide margin, with Canada contributing primarily greenhouse varieties. Importers must confirm entry date, greenhouse status, and organic certification simultaneously to select the correct line — an error on any one factor can result in misclassification. FDA produce admissibility requirements apply at the port of entry.

For entries during the December 1–end of February and March 1–April 30 windows, the tariff schedule distinguishes greenhouse-grown cucumbers (Persian, long seedless, and other types) from field-grown cucumbers. Greenhouse origin must be supported by grower documentation or phytosanitary certificates indicating controlled-environment production; without that evidence, the shipment should be classified under the non-greenhouse lines.
Yes. Gherkins have their own seasonal lines — 0707002015 for entries December 1 through end of February and 0707004015 for entries March 1 through April 30 — separate from the cucumber-specific lines within the same heading. Outside those seasonal windows, gherkins fall under the general cucumber lines. Importers should specify 'gherkin' on commercial invoices to support the correct line selection.
