Overview
This HTS category, 0702.00.60, specifically covers tomatoes, fresh or chilled, that are entered into the customs territory during the period from November 15th to the last day of February, inclusive, of the following year. This seasonal designation is the primary criterion for classification under this code.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. Unlike 0702.00.20, which applies to entries during the spring and fall periods, or 0702.00.40, which pertains to summer entries, this code is exclusively for tomatoes imported during the late fall, winter, and early spring months. Therefore, the specific dates of entry are paramount to determining the correct tariff treatment.
The subcategories within this code further refine the classification based on cultivation method. Shipments can be categorized as "Greenhouse" if the tomatoes were grown in a greenhouse environment, or "Other" if they were grown through other methods, such as open-field cultivation. This distinction may have implications for import regulations or trade programs.
