0702.00.20.50 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 0702.00.20.50, designates "Other" certified organic tomatoes that fall within Chapter 7. It specifically applies to fresh or chilled tomatoes that are entered during the periods of March 1st to July 14th, inclusive, or September 1st to November 14th, inclusive, in any given year, and are certified organic. This broad "Other" category serves as a catch-all for organic tomatoes not specifically listed under the preceding sibling classifications.

Unlike its siblings which define specific types of tomatoes (e.g., Grape, Roma, or Round), this classification is for organic tomatoes that do not fit into those defined categories. The key distinguishing factor here, beyond the organic certification, is the absence of a more specific descriptor for the tomato variety or physical characteristic. Therefore, if an organic tomato entered during the specified periods does not meet the criteria for "Grape," "Roma (plum type)," or "Round, of a kind described in statistical note 2 to this chapter," it would be classified under this "Other" designation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories branching from 0702.00.20.50. Classification stops at this level, meaning that once a fresh or chilled tomato meets the organic certification requirement, is entered during the designated seasonal periods, and does not fit into the more specific preceding categories, it is definitively classified here. The determination then rests on whether the tomato aligns with the defined varieties of its siblings or, in this instance, falls outside of them.
