Last updated: April 2026 dataCarrots dominate trade volume within this heading, but it also encompasses turnips, salad beetroot, salsify, celeriac, and radishes — each with distinct commercial markets and, at the HTS level, potentially separate tariff lines. Root vegetables in this category are subject to FDA produce safety oversight and USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection, with particular attention to soil contamination on roots, which can harbor quarantine pests. Importers should ensure roots are adequately washed and free of adhering soil before export, as soil-on-root shipments are a common cause of APHIS holds.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
USDA APHIS treats soil as a potential pathway for introducing quarantine pests and plant pathogens. Shipments of carrots, celeriac, or other roots with significant soil attachment may be held for inspection, required to undergo cleaning treatment, or refused entry. Exporters are strongly advised to wash and brush roots before packing to reduce this risk.
No. The US HTS schedule breaks out individual root vegetables — such as carrots, turnips, and radishes — into separate tariff lines with potentially different duty rates. Accurate identification of the specific root type on the commercial invoice and entry summary is essential for correct classification.
