0703
Onions, shallots, garlic, leeks and other alliaceous vegetables, fresh or chilled
Analysis
Heading 0703 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers onions, shallots, garlic, leeks and other alliaceous vegetables, fresh or chilled. It divides into 3 six-digit subheadings and 5 eight-digit tariff lines, with 17 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
None of its 5 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 20% to 20% with a median of 20%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
Its median rate of 20% sits at the 91st percentile of the headings in chapter 07.
4 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
The largest subheadings are 0703.10 (onions and shallots, 3 lines), 0703.20 (unnamed, 1 line) and 0703.90 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Other Vegetable (except Potato) and Melon Farming (111219). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
