HS code for Chilled tomatoes: 0702.00
Vegetables, tomatoes, fresh or chilled.
Classification of chilled tomatoes under HS 0702.00
Tomatoes, whether fresh or chilled, are classified under the single HS code 070200. This code is part of Chapter 07, which covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Unlike many other products in the Harmonized System that are split into numerous subheadings, tomatoes are grouped into one six-digit code regardless of variety, size, or intended use (e.g., salad tomatoes vs. processing tomatoes). The classification applies to the fruit of the plant Solanum lycopersicum. The term "chilled" refers to products that have been reduced in temperature, typically to between 2°C and 10°C, to preserve freshness during transport and storage without reaching the freezing point. This code is strictly for raw tomatoes; any form of processing beyond simple cleaning, grading, or packing, such as cooking, peeling, or preservation in vinegar or acetic acid, would move the product to Chapter 20. The classification remains 070200 even if the tomatoes are still on the vine (truss tomatoes).

Codes often confused with 0702.00
Common mistake. Tomatoes are often misclassified under 200210 if they have been peeled or preserved in a way that goes beyond simple chilling. Another common error is confusing them with other vegetables in Heading 0709, but tomatoes have their own dedicated heading (0702). If the tomatoes are frozen, they are classified under 071080 rather than 070200.

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).
