Baby Asparagus Spears Chilled from Mexico
Baby asparagus spears, under 8 mm in diameter, are thin and tender, harvested early for use in salads and garnishes. They are fresh or chilled and not further prepared, which places them under tariff item 0709.20.99 as 'other' asparagus. The size does not affect classification, as the heading covers all fresh or chilled asparagus.

Import Tips
• Ensure the asparagus is fresh or chilled and not preserved, as any further processing may change classification
• Verify the country of origin for applicable trade agreements that may reduce or eliminate duty
• Keep records of the shipment's weight, as supplementary note 1 requires package weight to be included in duty calculations
