Import Tips
• Verify sets are immature bulbs under 1 inch; larger ones may classify as fresh onions under 0703.10.10.00
• Provide phytosanitary certificates proving freedom from pests like onion maggot to meet USDA APHIS requirements
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as mature onions, which changes duty rates and documentation needs
