U.S. imports of avocados, fresh or dried (HS 080440) totaled $267.8M in April 2026, traded with 5 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataHass and Hass-like varieties receive their own dedicated tariff lines (0804400020 for organic, 0804400040 for conventional) within this heading, reflecting the commercial dominance of that cultivar in US retail and foodservice — a distinction that requires importers to confirm variety at the time of entry. Mexico overwhelmingly leads US avocado supply, with Peru and Colombia also significant sources. Fresh avocados are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements, and market access conditions — including approved growing regions and treatment protocols — vary by country of origin.

The HTS does not provide a statutory definition of 'Hass-like,' but CBP guidance generally treats varieties with similar skin texture, seed-to-flesh ratio, and ripening characteristics as qualifying. Exporters should provide variety documentation — such as a phytosanitary certificate or commercial invoice specifying the cultivar — to support classification under the Hass-specific lines. When variety is ambiguous, the catch-all line 0804400090 applies.
Fresh avocados from Mexico must comply with USDA APHIS import conditions, which have historically included requirements tied to approved production areas, field inspections, and packinghouse certification. APHIS periodically updates these conditions; importers should verify current admissibility requirements directly with APHIS or through a licensed customs broker before each shipping season, as non-compliant shipments can be refused entry.
