AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Fresh globe artichokes require a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of the exporting country, and shipments are subject to USDA APHIS inspection at the port of entry. Depending on origin, additional pest-risk conditions or treatment requirements may apply.
Domestic US production peaks in spring, so import volumes from Mexico and other suppliers tend to fill gaps in late summer through winter. Buyers often plan procurement calendars around these seasonal windows to maintain consistent supply for foodservice and retail channels.
