Fresh or Chilled Garlic

Fresh garlic imports face a complex admissibility and trade-remedy landscape: China, the dominant global producer and leading US supplier, is subject to antidumping duty orders on fresh garlic that have been in place for decades, making origin documentation and scope rulings a routine compliance concern. The US tariff schedule distinguishes certified organic whole bulbs (0703200005), non-organic whole bulbs (0703200015), fresh whole peeled cloves (0703200020), and other fresh or chilled forms (0703200090). Spain and Mexico are secondary suppliers. FDA oversight applies to fresh produce at entry, and importers should consult a licensed customs broker regarding antidumping scope and deposit rates before importing Chinese-origin product.
