Import Tips

• Verify freshness upon import; ensure no sprouting or drying, as dried onions shift to Chapter 07 heading 0712

• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming pest-free status, as onions are subject to USDA APHIS inspections

• Label country of origin and variety accurately to match HTS description and prevent reclassification
