0702.00.60.04 - Roma (plum type)

This HTS category, 0702.00.60.04, specifically classifies Roma (plum type) tomatoes that are fresh or chilled. These tomatoes are characterized by their elongated, plum-like shape and are typically used for sauces, pastes, and canning due to their lower water content and fleshier consistency compared to round varieties. The classification is further refined by its inclusion within the "Greenhouse" and "Certified organic" subheadings, indicating that the tomatoes must meet these specific cultivation and certification requirements.

To distinguish this category from its siblings, it is important to note that other classifications at this level exist for different types of fresh or chilled tomatoes. For instance, "Grape" tomatoes (0702.00.60.02) are smaller and ovular, while "Round" tomatoes (0702.00.60.06) encompass standard globe-shaped varieties. The "Other" category (0702.00.60.08) serves as a catch-all for any Roma or plum-type tomatoes that do not meet the specific "Certified organic" criteria.

As a leaf node, this classification has no further subcategories. Therefore, the primary focus for classification under this code is the accurate identification of Roma (plum type) tomatoes that have been grown in a greenhouse environment and possess valid certification for organic production, within the specified seasonal entry period of November 15th through the end of February.
