U.S. exports of Tomato Paste, Puree, and Other Processed Tomato Products (Not by Vinegar) (HS 200290) totaled $23.9M in August 2026.
Importers of Tomato Paste, Puree, and Other Processed Tomato Products (Not by Vinegar) paid $753K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 11.15% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataConcentrated tomato products — paste, puree, and powder — are the most industrially significant segment of Chapter 20's tomato provisions, serving as primary inputs for sauce, soup, and condiment manufacturing. Italy leads US imports under this heading, with Chile and Egypt also major sources; the heading's 10-digit lines separate tomato paste by container size (2002908010 for under 1.4 kg; 2002908020 for 1.4 kg or more), tomato puree by container size (2002908030 and 2002908040), and tomato powder (2002904000) as a distinct line. Importers should note that tomato paste and puree are regulated as low-acid canned foods by FDA, requiring scheduled process filings and FSMA facility registration from the foreign manufacturer before entry.

The distinction is based on concentration: tomato paste has a higher soluble solids content (typically 24% or more) than tomato puree (generally 8–24% soluble solids). The US tariff lines treat them separately (paste under 2002908010/2002908020 and puree under 2002908030/2002908040), so importers must confirm the product's Brix or soluble solids specification to classify correctly.
Importers should verify whether antidumping or countervailing duty orders, or Section 301 measures, apply to tomato paste from specific origins at the time of importation. Trade-remedy coverage and rates change; a licensed customs broker or the USITC's online ADCVD portal can confirm current order status for each supplier country.
