Last updated: August 2026 dataFresh garlic imports are subject to antidumping duty orders that have been in place for decades against Chinese-origin product, making origin determination and documentation a central compliance concern for this heading. China remains the dominant global producer and the primary US import source, though Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and Egypt also supply the market. The US tariff schedule distinguishes whole bulbs (0703200015 for conventional, 0703200005 for certified organic), fresh whole peeled cloves (0703200020), and other forms (0703200090). USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply at entry; importers should consult a licensed customs broker regarding antidumping scope and applicable cash-deposit rates before sourcing.

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.
