Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If entered outside November 15 to February period
Seasonal entry restriction moves non-winter imports to the general 'other' certified organic round tomato subheading.
If frozen rather than fresh or chilled
Frozen tomatoes are provisionally preserved and classified in Chapter 71 for frozen vegetables, not fresh/chilled Chapter 70.
If not certified organic but still round and seasonal
Non-organic round tomatoes in the same seasonal period fall under the conventional counterpart subheading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide USDA or equivalent organic certification documentation at entry to verify 'certified organic' status per General Statistical Note 6
• Confirm entry date falls within November 15 to February end; off-season imports shift to other subheadings like 0702.00.40
• Ensure tomatoes are fresh/chilled and round (globe/slicing/beefsteak shape, ≤0.9kg) to avoid reclassification; inspect for damage
