Product classification
HS code for Diced tomatoes: 2002.10
Vegetable preparations, tomatoes, whole or in pieces, prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid.
Classification of diced tomatoes under HS 2002.10
Diced tomatoes are classified under HS code 2002.10, which covers tomatoes prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid. Chapter 20 encompasses preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts, or other parts of plants. Heading 2002 is specific to tomatoes. The subheading 2002.10 applies to tomatoes that are \"whole or in pieces.\" Since dicing involves cutting the tomato into pieces, it fits perfectly within this description. The preservation method is key; these products are typically preserved by heat treatment (canning) or other methods that do not involve vinegar. If the tomatoes were fresh or simply chilled, they would fall under Chapter 07. However, the process of dicing and subsequent preservation in juice or puree moves them into the \"prepared or preserved\" category of Chapter 20. This classification applies to both retail-sized cans and large industrial containers used for further food processing.

Codes often confused with 2002.10
Common mistake. Diced tomatoes are often confused with fresh tomatoes under HS code 0702.00. The distinction lies in the preservation; if they are canned or cooked, they belong in 2002. They are also sometimes misclassified as tomato sauce or ketchup under HS code 2103.20. However, 2103.20 is for highly processed sauces with added spices and thickeners, whereas 2002.10 is for tomatoes in their natural, albeit cut, state.

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).
