0702.00.40.06 - Round, of a kind described in statistical note 2 to this chapter

This HTS classification, 0702.00.40.06, specifically covers round tomatoes, fresh or chilled, when they are of a kind described in statistical note 2 to Chapter 7 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. These tomatoes are intended for import during the period of July 15th to August 31st, inclusive, and were grown under greenhouse conditions. Furthermore, they must be certified organic to qualify for this particular subheading.

This category distinguishes itself from its siblings by its specific physical characteristic of being "round" in shape. It differs from "Grape" tomatoes (0702.00.40.02), which are typically smaller and elongated, and "Roma (plum type)" tomatoes (0702.00.40.04), which are characterized by their oblong shape and fewer locules. The "Other" category (0702.00.40.08) serves as a catch-all for any other round, fresh or chilled tomatoes meeting the seasonal, greenhouse, and organic criteria that do not fit the more specific descriptions.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific subheading is definitive based on the fulfillment of all preceding criteria: the commodity being fresh or chilled tomatoes, imported within the designated July 15th to August 31st window, cultivated in a greenhouse, certified organic, and possessing a round shape as further defined by statistical note 2.
