0702.00.40.37 - Certified organic

This specific HTS classification, 0702.00.40.37, designates tomatoes, fresh or chilled, that are certified organic. This designation applies only to tomatoes that meet the stringent criteria for organic production and have been duly certified by an accredited certifying body. The "certified organic" descriptor is crucial, differentiating these goods from conventionally grown tomatoes under the same chapter.

Within the context of tomatoes entered during the period from July 15 to August 31, inclusive, this subcategory specifically applies to those that are certified organic. It exists as a distinct option from other potential subcategories under the "Other" heading, which might differentiate based on factors like packaging or specific varieties if those distinctions were present at this granular level. Since this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. The primary classification criterion here is the verifiable certification of organic status.
