Heading 2002 — Tomatoes; prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid
Chapter 20: Preparations of vegetables, fruit
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 200210 when importing or exporting whole or piece tomatoes that are prepared or preserved without vinegar or acetic acid. For instance, canned diced tomatoes or tomato puree fall under this code.
This code specifically addresses tomato products that are not pickled or preserved with vinegar, distinguishing them from HS-6 200290, which covers other vegetable preparations. If your product is a tomato sauce with vinegar, it would not qualify here.
Tomatoes in this category can be found in various forms, such as whole peeled tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, or tomato paste. These products are typically used in cooking, sauces, and food manufacturing.
When considering classification, remember that the absence of vinegar or acetic acid is crucial. Products like sun-dried tomatoes, which may be preserved through drying rather than acidification, also fit under this HS-6.
