Last updated: August 2026 dataSeasonal entry windows drive the tariff structure for non-head lettuce varieties — romaine, butterhead, red and green leaf, and organic salad cut mixes are each assigned to distinct 10-digit lines based on entry date (June 1–October 31 vs. November 1–May 31) and organic certification status. Mexico dominates US supply year-round, with Canada contributing primarily during the summer window. Importers must track both the entry-period lines and the organic/conventional split to ensure correct classification, as misclassification between, for example, 0705192060 and 0705194060 can trigger duty discrepancies. FDA oversight applies at entry for fresh produce admissibility.

The US tariff schedule separates non-head lettuce by two seasonal windows: entries from June 1 through October 31 and entries from November 1 through May 31. Romaine entered during the winter/spring window falls under 0705194020, while summer-window entries use a different line. Importers must confirm the actual date of entry — not shipment date — to select the correct 10-digit code.
Yes. Certified organic packaged salad cut mixes are split further by package weight: under 1 kg (0705190020) and over 1 kg (0705190030), while other organic lettuce not in cut-mix form falls under 0705190040. Conventional non-head lettuce that does not fit a seasonal or organic line defaults to 0705190050.
