Chilled Baby Globe Artichokes from Japan
Chilled baby globe artichokes are immature Cynara scolymus flower heads harvested early for their tender texture and mild flavor. They are chilled post-harvest solely to maintain freshness and are not further processed, making them suitable for classification as fresh or chilled vegetables under tariff item 0709.91.00.

Import Tips
• Ensure the artichokes are chilled but not treated with preservatives, as any additional processing could shift classification
• Verify that the product is not frozen or dried, which would fall under other headings
• Keep transport documentation showing the chill chain was maintained
