Last updated: July 2026 dataBeyond cucumbers and gherkins, heading 200190 captures a wide array of vinegar-preserved produce — including capers (2001901000, 2001902000), artichokes (2001902500), nopalitos (2001903300), pimientos (2001903500), mangoes (2001904500), Chinese water chestnuts (2001904800), and chestnuts (2001904200) — making correct 10-digit classification dependent on the specific commodity. Mexico leads supply, reflecting strong trade in nopalitos and pimientos, while Peru, Turkey, Greece, and Spain are significant sources for capers, artichokes, and other Mediterranean specialties. FDA acidified-food regulations and FSMA facility registration apply across the heading; capers and artichokes from Mediterranean origins may also require attention to pesticide residue tolerances established by EPA.

Capers have two dedicated 10-digit lines based on container size: 2001901000 for containers over 3.4 kg (typically food-service or bulk) and 2001902000 for containers of 3.4 kg or less (retail). This size-based split affects duty rates, so importers must classify based on the actual net weight of the individual container, not the total shipment weight.
Beyond FDA FSMA facility registration and acidified-food process filing requirements, importers should verify that pesticide residues on artichokes from countries such as Greece or Spain comply with EPA-established tolerances for the US market. If the exporting country uses crop protection products not registered in the US, residue levels may exceed US maximum residue limits, triggering detention or refusal at entry.
