0702.00.60.34 - Roma (plum type)

This HTS classification, 0702.00.60.34, specifically covers Roma or plum-type tomatoes that are fresh or chilled. These are distinct from other tomato varieties due to their characteristic elongated shape, firm flesh, and lower seed content, making them particularly suitable for processing into sauces, pastes, and other culinary products. This subcategory falls within the broader classification of tomatoes imported during the period from November 15th to the last day of February, and further narrows down to those that are certified organic.

When classifying tomatoes under 0702.00.60, it's crucial to differentiate based on type and the prevailing import season. This specific code, 0702.00.60.34, stands apart from its siblings, such as the "Grape" type (0702.00.60.33), which are typically smaller and rounder, or the "Round" type (0702.00.60.37) described in statistical note 2. The "Other" category (0702.00.60.38) is for varieties not otherwise specified. The "Roma (plum type)" designation is for those tomatoes exhibiting the distinct plum-like shape.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 0702.00.60.34. Therefore, classification relies entirely on accurately identifying the product as a Roma or plum-type tomato that is fresh or chilled, imported within the specified seasonal window, and possessing certified organic status. The physical characteristics and common culinary uses associated with Roma tomatoes serve as the primary criteria for assigning goods to this particular classification code.
