U.S. exports of fresh or chilled onions and shallots (HS 070310) totaled $33.0M in July 2026.
Importers of Fresh or Chilled Onions and Shallots paid $335K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $2.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataClassified by color, size, and organic status across fifteen US tariff lines, fresh onions and shallots are a high-volume produce import with Mexico and Canada as the leading suppliers. The schedule distinguishes onion sets (small bulbs used for replanting), pearl onions not exceeding 16 mm in diameter (0703103000), and full-size onions broken out by red, white, yellow non-sweet, and yellow sweet varieties — each with separate organic and conventional lines. FDA's FSMA Produce Safety Rule applies to all fresh onion imports, and USDA APHIS may impose phytosanitary conditions on planting stock such as onion sets. Peru and the Netherlands round out the top supplier group, reflecting both Southern Hemisphere counter-seasonal supply and European shallot trade.

Onion sets — small bulbs intended for replanting rather than direct consumption — have their own dedicated tariff lines (0703100010 for certified organic and 0703100050 for conventional), separate from pearl onions and full-size table onions. Because sets are planting material, USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements may apply in addition to FDA produce-safety oversight.
Yes. The US schedule breaks out full-size, non-organic onions by color: red (0703104055), white (0703104060), yellow non-sweet (0703104064), and yellow sweet (0703104066). Importers must correctly identify the variety at entry, as misclassification between these lines can result in duty discrepancies.
