Last updated: July 2026 dataPeru is the dominant supplier of fresh asparagus to the US market, with Mexico and Canada also contributing meaningful volumes, making this one of the more geographically concentrated fresh-vegetable import categories. The US tariff schedule distinguishes white asparagus (0709209010) from green and other varieties, and separately tracks certified organic product across multiple lines (0709202000 and 0709209040). FDA regulates fresh asparagus as a covered produce commodity under FSMA's Produce Safety Rule, and USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply at entry.

The US schedule carves out white asparagus under its own 10-digit line (0709209010) because white and green asparagus can carry different duty rates and are commercially distinct products. Importers should confirm the variety at the time of entry to avoid misclassification, particularly when a single shipment contains mixed varieties.
Peru accounts for the largest share of US fresh asparagus imports by a significant margin. This concentration means that Peruvian weather events, labor disruptions, or phytosanitary restrictions can cause meaningful supply gaps. Mexico serves as the primary alternative source, though its seasonal availability differs from Peru's year-round production cycle.
