Fresh Elephant Garlic from China
Fresh elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum var. ampeloprasum) produces oversized bulbs with a milder flavor than regular garlic. It is classified under tariff item 0703.90.00 as 'other alliaceous vegetables' because it is a variety of leek, which is explicitly included in the heading, and not a true garlic (Allium sativum) that would fall under heading 07.03.20.
