2002.90.80.30 - In containers holding less than 1.4 kg 🖩

This HTS classification, 2002.90.80.30, pertains to tomatoes that have been prepared or preserved through methods other than vinegar or acetic acid, specifically when packed in containers holding less than 1.4 kilograms. This category encompasses a range of tomato products, such as purees, pastes, or sauces, that do not meet the criteria for pickled, brined, or otherwise preserved tomatoes falling under different headings. The key determinant for this classification is the net weight of the product within its packaging.

Within the broader category of "Tomatoes prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid: Other: Other," this subcategory is specifically for puree. It distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 2002.90.80.40 ("Other"), by narrowly defining its scope to only include tomato puree. While other tomato preparations might exist under the "Other" sibling, this node focuses exclusively on pureed tomato products meeting the specified container weight limitation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for tomato puree in containers weighing under 1.4 kg, prepared or preserved by methods other than vinegar or acetic acid. The focus for customs purposes will be on verifying the product's form (puree) and the net weight of the individual containers.
