Last updated: August 2026 dataBeyond the better-known alliums (onions, shallots, garlic), this heading captures leeks, green onions of species other than Allium cepa, and related alliaceous vegetables, with the US schedule splitting entries between non-cepa green onions (0703900020) and all other leeks and alliaceous vegetables (0703900040). Mexico and Canada are the primary suppliers, with Ecuador, Colombia, and Costa Rica contributing meaningful volumes of specialty alliums. Because green onions of Allium cepa are classified under heading 0703.10 rather than here, correct species identification is necessary to avoid misclassification. USDA APHIS phytosanitary clearance applies to all fresh imports under this heading.

The species is the deciding factor: green onions of the species Allium cepa (the common bulb onion harvested young) are classified under heading 0703.10 with other onions and shallots. Green onions of other Allium species — such as Allium fistulosum (Welsh onion) or Allium schoenoprasum (chives, though chives have their own classification considerations) — fall under 0703.90. Importers should obtain botanical species documentation from their supplier to support the correct classification.
Unlike tomatoes or cauliflower/broccoli, the current HTS lines under 0703.90 do not carry seasonal entry-date windows that shift the applicable duty rate. Classification here turns on species and form rather than calendar period, simplifying entry planning compared to some other fresh-vegetable headings.
