HS code for Whole peeled tomatoes: 2002.10
Vegetable preparations, tomatoes, whole or in pieces, prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid.
Classification of whole peeled tomatoes under HS 2002.10
Whole peeled tomatoes are classified under HS code 2002.10. This code is part of Chapter 20, which covers preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts, or other parts of plants. Heading 2002 is specifically for tomatoes prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid. Subheading 2002.10 is reserved for tomatoes that are preserved "whole or in pieces." This typically refers to tomatoes that have been peeled and then canned or bottled in their own juice or a light puree. The essential requirement for this classification is the physical state of the vegetable; the tomatoes must retain their shape as whole units or recognizable pieces (such as halves or quarters). This code distinguishes these products from more processed tomato derivatives. The preservation method usually involves heat treatment (pasteurization or sterilization) to ensure shelf stability. This classification is vital for trade because many countries have specific seasonal tariffs or anti-dumping duties on canned tomato products to protect local agricultural industries. Accurate description on the commercial invoice is necessary to confirm that the tomatoes are indeed whole or in pieces rather than crushed.

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).
