0702.00.20.92 - Other 🖩

This HTS subcategory, 0702.00.20.92, encompasses tomatoes, fresh or chilled, that do not fall under the more specific classifications of "Cherry," "Grape," "Roma (plum type)," or those specifically described in statistical note 2 to this chapter. It serves as a residual category for a wide variety of fresh or chilled tomatoes that meet the general criteria of Chapter 7 and are entered during the designated import periods. This broad coverage means it can include tomatoes of various shapes, sizes, and intended uses, provided they are not otherwise specifically listed.

To classify a tomato under this heading, it is crucial to first determine if it fits any of the more specific sibling categories. For instance, "Cherry" tomatoes are typically small, round, and often sold in clusters. "Grape" tomatoes are elongated and similar in shape to a grape. "Roma" or plum tomatoes are characterized by their oval or cylindrical shape and denser flesh. Tomatoes described in statistical note 2 likely refer to specific market classes or types of tomatoes with defined characteristics that differentiate them for statistical tracking. If a tomato does not precisely match these descriptions, it would then be considered under this "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification tree, there are no further subcategories for 0702.00.20.92. Therefore, classification decisions within this subcategory will rely on the precise definition of "other" in relation to the preceding, more specific categories and any relevant statistical notes that may provide further guidance on the characteristics or types of tomatoes to be included or excluded. This ensures that all fresh or chilled tomatoes, when entered during the specified periods, are appropriately accounted for within the customs tariff.
