Smaller cherry/grape organic tomatoes during seasonal entry use a different statistical suffix under the same certified organic heading.
If frozen after harvest
Frozen tomatoes, regardless of organic status or type, classify under Chapter 7 heading 0712 for frozen vegetables, not fresh/chilled.
If actually sweet bell peppers misidentified
Peppers for processing have specific statistical notes; mislabeled plum tomatoes could wrongly shift if resembling bell-type for freezing/pickling.
