0702.00.20.19 - Cherry

This HTS classification, 0702.00.20.19, specifically covers "Cherry" tomatoes that are fresh or chilled. These are generally defined by their smaller size, round or oval shape, and often higher sweetness compared to larger tomato varieties. The classification context places these within Chapter 7, which pertains to edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. The "Greenhouse" designation within the parent context indicates that these cherries are typically grown in controlled environments, allowing for year-round availability and consistent quality.

This specific subcategory distinguishes itself from its siblings by its exact product designation. While other sibling categories might cover different types of tomatoes like "Grape" or "Roma (plum type)," or general classifications for "Round" or "Other" tomatoes within the greenhouse context, 0702.00.20.19 is exclusively for the "Cherry" variety. The distinction between these categories is crucial for accurate reporting and duty assessment.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification ends at the "Cherry" designation, meaning that any fresh or chilled tomatoes meeting the specific criteria for cherry tomatoes, grown under greenhouse conditions, and entered during the specified seasonal periods, will fall under this code. Classification at this level relies on the distinct varietal characteristics of cherry tomatoes as recognized in trade.
