U.S. imports of fresh or chilled brussels sprouts (HS 070420) totaled $9.7M in April 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBrussels sprouts enter the US under a single 10-digit line (0704200000), making classification straightforward, but the supply picture is more nuanced: Mexico and Canada lead imports, with Guatemala, Belgium, and the Netherlands contributing volumes that reflect both proximity and European specialty production. Belgium in particular has a long commercial association with this vegetable — the name itself reflects its historical cultivation center — and European suppliers serve niche retail and foodservice demand for premium grades. All fresh Brussels sprout imports require USDA APHIS phytosanitary clearance before release.

No. Fresh and chilled Brussels sprouts fall under HTS heading 0704.20, while frozen Brussels sprouts are classified under heading 0710 (vegetables frozen). The distinction between fresh/chilled and frozen is fundamental to Chapter 7 classification, and the applicable duty rates and entry requirements differ between the two states.
USDA APHIS screens Brussels sprout shipments for pests common to brassica crops, including aphids, caterpillars, and fungal pathogens. Shipments from countries with known pest pressures may require additional inspection or treatment. Importers should ensure that phytosanitary certificates from the exporting country's national plant protection organization accurately reflect the pest-free status of the consignment.
