HS Code 0702.00 – Vegetables; tomatoes, fresh or chilled
HS code 0702.00 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetables, tomatoes, fresh or chilled. It is used for roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, beefsteak tomatoes, vine-ripened tomatoes and heirloom tomatoes.
What HS 0702.00 covers
The international trade of fresh or chilled tomatoes is a massive and dynamic sector, driven by their widespread culinary use across nearly all global cuisines. This code covers all varieties of fresh tomatoes, from small cherry tomatoes to large beefsteaks. Major exporting nations like Mexico, the Netherlands, and Spain leverage advanced agricultural techniques, including extensive greenhouse cultivation, to ensure year-round supply. Key importing countries such as the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom rely on these imports to meet consistent consumer demand. Logistics are critical, requiring precise temperature control and careful handling to prevent bruising and spoilage, given the tomato's delicate nature and varying ripeness levels. Trade is influenced by seasonal production cycles, pest and disease management, and evolving consumer preferences for specific flavors and textures.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
