Egypt and India are the dominant US suppliers of dried onions, a widely traded food ingredient used across the seasoning, snack, and processed-food industries. The US schedule divides the heading into onion powder or flour (0712202000) and other dried forms such as flakes, granules, and minced pieces (0712204000) — a distinction that affects both duty treatment and end-use labeling requirements. Shipments from China, also a notable supplier, may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. FDA review applies at entry, and country-of-origin labeling requirements are strictly enforced for this commodity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the classification difference between onion powder and other dried onion forms under this heading?

The US schedule draws a clear line at the degree of size reduction: onion powder or flour (0712202000) covers finely ground product, while 0712204000 captures all other dried forms — flakes, granules, minced, and chopped. The distinction matters because some end-use specifications (e.g., for seasoning blends or food labeling) require a specific particle size, and misclassification between the two lines can trigger duty discrepancies.

Are there food-safety documentation requirements specific to dried onion imports?

Yes. FDA requires Prior Notice for all dried onion shipments, and the agency has historically issued import alerts for dried onion products from certain origins due to Salmonella contamination concerns. Importers should verify that foreign suppliers are registered with FDA and that certificates of analysis accompany each shipment. Admissibility determinations can be complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered import specialist.
