Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If round globe slicing tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes are not 'round' globe types weighing up to 0.9 kg, so they go to 'other' rather than specific round provisions.
If provisionally preserved in brine or sulfur solution
Tomatoes treated for temporary preservation during transport fall under heading 0711, unsuitable for immediate consumption.
If entered outside November 15-February period
Tomatoes imported in other seasons use the general fresh tomato provisions without seasonal restrictions.
