Last updated: August 2026 dataChina supplies the overwhelming majority of US bamboo shoot imports, making this heading one of the more concentrated single-origin categories in the prepared vegetable trade — and one with direct Section 301 tariff exposure for Chinese-origin product. The US schedule provides three 10-digit lines: bamboo shoots not frozen (2005910000), those in airtight containers (2005916000), and other preparations (2005919700), with the airtight-container distinction relevant to FDA low-acid canned food compliance. Thailand and Japan are secondary suppliers. Importers sourcing from China should track Section 301 list status and any applicable product exclusions.

The line 2005916000 specifically covers bamboo shoots prepared or preserved in airtight containers (other than by vinegar or sugar), while 2005910000 is a broader 'not frozen' provision and 2005919700 captures other preparations not elsewhere specified. The airtight-container distinction matters both for duty rate purposes and for FDA LACF registration requirements, since hermetically sealed low-acid vegetable products trigger specific process-filing obligations.
Importers should obtain detailed country-of-origin documentation, including supplier declarations and, where applicable, certificates of origin, to substantiate the claimed origin. For Chinese-origin product, they should also verify whether any Section 301 exclusions apply to their specific product and HTS line, and maintain records sufficient to support a post-entry audit. A licensed customs broker can assist with exclusion monitoring and entry strategy.
