HS Code 2002Tomatoes; prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid
2 six-digit codes · Heading 2 of 9 in Chapter 20 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 2002 is where customs files tomato products that are cooked, canned or otherwise preserved without vinegar. Your pick of 200210 or 200290 depends on the form of the tomatoes.
Heading 2002 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Tomatoes; prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid” classify either at 200210 or at 200290, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 2 of 9 in Chapter 20, Preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts or other parts of plants, which runs to 52 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 2002
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 200210 | Vegetable preparations; tomatoes, whole or in pieces, prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid |
| 200290 | Vegetable preparations; tomatoes, (other than whole or in pieces), prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid |
What HS code 2002 covers
The Harmonized System is the tariff classification that customs offices use worldwide. The World Customs Organization looks after it. Heading 2002 is one small slice of that list.
Some search results use the bare number for an older release of the whole list. This page is about the tomato heading, not about a release. Traders in India may call the same four digits HSN 2002.
People often search for canned tomatoes or preserved tomatoes. The heading is wider than those words. It takes in tomato preparations of many kinds, such as cooked, crushed, concentrated or jarred tomatoes. The one method it leaves out is vinegar or acetic acid.
HS 200210 vs 200290: how to choose
Look at the form of the tomatoes. Ignore the pack, the brand and the recipe.
Whole tomatoes, or tomatoes cut into pieces, go to 200210. You may also see it written as 2002.10. Every other form goes to 200290, also written 2002.90. Paste, puree and powder are examples of other forms.
- 200210: tomatoes, whole or in pieces
- 200290: tomatoes in any other form

- Mushrooms and truffles: heading 2003.
