Last updated: September 2026 dataFrozen spinach — covering garden, New Zealand, and orache varieties processed by steaming or boiling before freezing — is sourced by the US from a geographically diverse supplier base led by Mexico and China, with Belgium, Ecuador, and the Netherlands also contributing. Imports from China in this category have historically been subject to heightened FDA scrutiny, and importers should maintain robust Foreign Supplier Verification Program records for Chinese processors. The heading has a single US 10-digit line (0710300000), simplifying classification but placing greater emphasis on country-of-origin documentation and food-safety compliance as the primary compliance variables. Frozen spinach is a key ingredient for foodservice, retail, and further-processing applications across the US food industry.

Under FDA's FSVP rule, importers must verify that Chinese frozen spinach suppliers produce the product in a manner that meets US preventive controls and food-safety standards. This typically involves supplier audits, review of the supplier's food-safety plan, and testing records — with documentation retained for at least two years and available for FDA inspection.
Yes. Unlike fresh spinach under HTS 070970, which splits by organic certification, frozen spinach has one US 10-digit line (0710300000) covering garden spinach, New Zealand spinach, and orache spinach regardless of organic status. Country of origin and food-safety compliance — not variety or certification — are therefore the primary classification and admissibility variables.
