0702.00.40.27 - Round, of a kind described in statistical note 2 to this chapter

This HTS classification, 0702.00.40.27, specifically covers round tomatoes, fresh or chilled, that meet the criteria outlined in statistical note 2 of Chapter 7. These tomatoes are imported or exported during the period from July 15 to August 31, inclusive, and are grown under greenhouse conditions. The "round" designation refers to their typical spherical shape, distinguishing them from other varieties.

This category differentiates itself from sibling entries by focusing on the general "round" shape, as opposed to specific varietal types like cherry (0702.00.40.19), grape (0702.00.40.21), or Roma/plum types (0702.00.40.23). While all are tomatoes within the same seasonal and cultivation context, the key distinction here lies in the form factor, excluding those specifically identified as cherry, grape, or plum types.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories branching from this specific code. Classification within 0702.00.40.27 is determined by the combination of the commodity (tomatoes), their condition (fresh or chilled), the defined import/export period, the cultivation method (greenhouse), and their general round shape, explicitly excluding other recognized varietal forms at this level.
