Last updated: August 2026 dataDried onions — whether reduced to powder or flour (0712202000) or dehydrated in other forms such as flakes, granules, or minced pieces (0712204000) — are a high-volume food-ingredient import used extensively in seasoning blends, soups, and processed foods. Egypt and India lead US supply, with China, Mexico, and Canada also significant sources, reflecting the large-scale dehydration industries in South Asia and North Africa. Imports from China in this category have been subject to Section 301 tariffs, making country-of-origin verification a material cost consideration for buyers. FDA regulates dried onion products as processed food ingredients, and foreign processors must be FDA-registered and compliant with FSMA preventive controls.

Yes. Dried onion products from China have been subject to Section 301 tariffs. The applicable additional duty depends on the specific 10-digit HTS line and the current Section 301 list status, so importers should verify the current rate with a licensed customs broker before contracting with Chinese suppliers.
The US schedule separates onion powder or flour (0712202000) — finely milled product — from all other dried onion forms (0712204000), which includes flakes, granules, minced, and chopped dehydrated onion. The physical form of the product at the time of importation determines the correct line, and importers should confirm the product specification with the supplier to avoid misclassification.
