Vegetables treated solely for provisional preservation during transport move to Chapter 71 under heading 0710, as they become unsuitable for immediate consumption.
If entered outside November 15 to February period
Tomatoes entered during the summer growing season (March 1 to November 14) are classified under 0702.00.20 for organic types, with potentially different duty protections.
