Last updated: July 2026 dataEdible brassicas — including head cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, kale, and cauliflower — enter the US fresh or chilled under this heading, with FDA overseeing produce safety compliance and USDA APHIS monitoring for quarantine pests such as cabbage moth and aphid species. Cold-chain integrity is commercially critical because brassicas are highly perishable and can deteriorate rapidly if temperature breaks occur during transit. The breadth of varieties within this heading means that accurate botanical identification on the commercial invoice helps avoid misclassification disputes at entry.

Head cabbage, savoy cabbage, red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kohlrabi, kale, cauliflower, and broccoli are all edible brassicas that may fall within this heading at the SITC level. At the HTS level, however, these are often separated into distinct tariff lines with potentially different duty rates, so precise variety identification on entry documents is important.
USDA APHIS screens fresh brassicas for quarantine pests including diamondback moth, cabbage aphid, and various fungal pathogens. A valid phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization is required, and shipments may be held for inspection or treatment if regulated pests are detected.
