Last updated: April 2026 dataIndia is the leading US supplier of provisionally preserved cucumbers and gherkins under this heading, with Sri Lanka and Israel also notable sources — a supplier profile that reflects the labor-intensive harvesting and brining operations concentrated in South Asia. The single 10-digit line (0711400000) covers both cucumbers and gherkins preserved in brine, sulfur water, or similar solutions solely to maintain condition during transit, and unsuitable for immediate consumption as imported. Importers should distinguish this heading from Chapter 20 pickled cucumbers, which are ready to eat. FDA admissibility review applies, and documentation should confirm the provisional nature of the preservation treatment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Customs documentation should include the manufacturer's specification sheet or a certificate of analysis confirming that the preservation agent (typically brine or sulfur water) is used solely to prevent deterioration during transit and that the product requires further processing before it is suitable for consumption. A licensed customs broker can advise on the supporting records CBP may request.
India's dominance reflects its large-scale cultivation of pickling cucumber varieties, low-cost hand-harvesting labor, and established brine-packing infrastructure oriented toward export. Sri Lanka similarly has a long-standing gherkin export industry developed in part through contract farming arrangements with European and US buyers.
