Last updated: April 2026 dataFresh, dried, and frozen fruit imports, along with frozen juice concentrates, enter US commerce under FDA food-safety oversight and are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements that can restrict or condition entry based on pest risk. Frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) is among the most commercially significant lines in this grouping, with supply heavily influenced by Southern Hemisphere harvest cycles and weather events in major growing regions. Importers of fresh fruit must coordinate APHIS permits and phytosanitary certificates well before shipment, as treatment requirements — cold treatment, fumigation, or irradiation — vary by origin and commodity. Classification between fresh, chilled, and frozen forms affects both duty rates and the applicable admissibility pathway.

USDA APHIS must authorize entry for most fresh fruit; requirements typically include a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization, and in many cases a systems approach or physical treatment (cold treatment, fumigation, or irradiation) to mitigate pest risk. Specific requirements vary by fruit type and country of origin, so importers should consult APHIS import regulations before contracting supply.
Fresh or chilled and frozen forms of the same fruit often fall under different HTS subheadings with different duty rates. For juice concentrates, the frozen versus not-frozen distinction similarly separates tariff lines. Confirming the product's temperature state at time of importation — and ensuring it matches the declared classification — is essential to avoid reclassification at the port.
