The sample packed in a can containing 35 ounces, net weight, contained whole and broken tomatoes measuring 2 3/8 - 3 inches in length, in tomato puree, with one whole basil leaf.

The applicable subheading for these two tomato products will be 2103.90.9060, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for sauces and preparations thereforother otherother. The rate of duty will be 6.4 percent ad valorem.
