Let R be an integral domain and I a nonzero ideal of R. An ideal J⊆ I is a t-reduction of I if (JIⁿ)_t=(Iⁿ⁺¹)_t for some positive integer n; and I is t-basic if it has no t-reduction other than the trivial ones. This paper investigates t-reductions of ideals in pullback constructions of type □. Section 2 examines the correlation between the notions of reduction and t-reduction in pseudo-valuation domains. Section 3 solves an open problem on whether the finite t-basic and v-basic ideal properties are distinct. We prove that these two notions coincide in any arbitrary domain. Section 4 features the main result, which establishes the transfer of the finite t-basic ideal property to pullbacks in line with the result in Fontana-Gabelli, 1996, on PvMDs and the result in Gabelli-Houston, 1997, on v-domains. This allows us to enrich the literature with new families of examples, which put the class of domains subject to the finite t-basic ideal property strictly between the two classes of v-domains and integrally closed domains.
