Last updated: May 2026 dataRadicchio, curly endive (frisée), escarole, and other non-witloof chicory varieties enter under a single 10-digit line (0705290000), making variety identification at the invoice level essential for accurate classification and to distinguish this heading from the witloof-specific 070521. Mexico and Italy are the leading US suppliers, reflecting both proximity-driven conventional production and Italy's strong heritage in radicchio and endive cultivation. Fresh chicory is subject to FDA produce admissibility review at entry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Commercial invoices and packing lists should specify the botanical variety or common trade name (e.g., radicchio, escarole, frisée) to confirm the product is not witloof/Belgian endive. Customs may request phytosanitary certificates or grower documentation that identifies the variety, particularly when shipments contain multiple chicory types.
Italy is an EU member state, and the US does not currently have a free trade agreement with the European Union, so standard MFN duty rates apply to Italian radicchio and endive. No preferential rate should be assumed without verifying the applicable tariff treatment at the time of entry.
