Last updated: August 2026 dataMexico dominates US supply of fresh and chilled globe artichokes, with Egypt and Costa Rica serving as secondary sources that help extend seasonal availability. Classified under a single 10-digit line (0709910000), these thistle-family vegetables enter under USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements and are subject to FDA oversight at the port of entry. Importers should note that artichoke supply is highly seasonal and that cold-chain integrity is critical to maintaining the tight quality tolerances buyers in the foodservice and specialty retail sectors demand.
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.
