Tomatoes; prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid
In plain English
This category covers tomatoes that have been prepared or preserved using methods other than vinegar or acetic acid. The goods are split into two groups based on their physical form. One group includes tomatoes that are kept whole or cut into pieces. The other group contains tomatoes that are not in whole or piece form.
