0710.80.45.00 - If entered during the period from July 15 to August 31, inclusive, in any year 🖩

This HTS classification, 0710.80.45.00, specifically covers frozen tomatoes that are entered for consumption during the period from July 15 to August 31, inclusive, of any given year. This subcategory falls under the broader heading of frozen vegetables and is further refined as "other vegetables" and then "tomatoes." The key determining factor for classification within this particular code is the specific date range of importation.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling categories by its precise seasonal window. HTS 0710.80.40.00 applies to frozen tomatoes imported during the spring and early autumn periods (March 1 to July 14, and September 1 to November 14), while HTS 0710.80.50.00 applies to those imported during the late autumn and winter months (November 15 to the last day of the following February). Therefore, proper classification hinges on accurately identifying the import date to align with the correct seasonal tariff provision.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subdivisions. All frozen tomatoes imported within the July 15 to August 31 timeframe are classified under this specific code, provided they meet the general requirements for Chapter 7, which generally includes vegetables that are uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, and then frozen.
