Removing unwanted tags from xml file

I have a XML file given as below:
"<ProductUOMAlternativeDetails>
<removetag>
<UOMCode>EA</UOMCode>
<numeratorForConversionToBaseUOM>1</numeratorForConversionToBaseUOM>
<denominatorForConversionToBaseUOM>1</denominatorForConversionToBaseUOM>
<length>0.59</length>
<width>0.96</width>
<height>0.35</height>
<productDimensionUOMCode>IN</productDimensionUOMCode>
<volume>0.001</volume>
<volumeUOMCode>FT3</volumeUOMCode>
<weight>0.045</weight>
<weightUOMCode>LB</weightUOMCode>
<productRestrictUOMCategoryCode>EA</productRestrictUOMCategoryCode>
<listPriceDollar>0.000</listPriceDollar>
<rank>3</rank>
</removetag>
</ProductUOMAlternativeDetails>"

My objective is get rid of the <removetag> </removetag> tags but have to keep remaining tags intact. I have tried using sed to remove the same but unable to remove <> and </> which are left after removing removetag. Could someone please advice how to get the desire XML format by removing unwanted tags?


Appreciate your input on this.

Thanks,
