Fresh or Chilled Garlic

The antidumping order applies specifically to fresh garlic from China, so importers sourcing from Spain, Mexico, Argentina, or Egypt are not subject to those duties — provided origin is properly documented. However, CBP scrutinizes garlic shipments for transshipment and country-of-origin fraud given the long-standing order, so robust supply-chain documentation (certificates of origin, phytosanitary certificates, and supplier records) is essential regardless of the declared source country.

Whole unpeeled bulbs (conventional or organic) fall under 0703200015 or 0703200005, while fresh whole peeled cloves are separately classified under 0703200020. The peeling step is a processing distinction that matters at classification: further processing beyond peeling — such as mincing, crushing, or packing in oil — would typically move the product out of heading 0703 entirely into a processed-vegetable or preparation heading.
