Fra Diavolo Tomato Sauce is a fiery seafood sauce made with tomatoes, Calabrian chilies, garlic, and white wine, traditionally paired with linguine and shellfish. It is classified under tariff item 2103.20.90 as an 'other tomato sauce' because tomatoes are the primary ingredient, and the seafood is typically added separately or in small amounts. The sauce is sold as a preparation for home cooking.
