Last updated: August 2026 dataClementines — a mandarin-tangerine hybrid prized for their seedless flesh and easy-peel skin — enter the US under a single tariff line (0805220000) and are sourced primarily from Southern Hemisphere origins, with Chile and South Africa leading supply. This Southern Hemisphere concentration is commercially significant: it allows US retailers to offer fresh clementines during the Northern Hemisphere off-season (roughly May through October), making supply timing a key procurement consideration. Morocco is also a notable supplier, reflecting its well-developed citrus export industry. FDA admissibility review and USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply at entry.

134 import shipments a month
Fresh clementines are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection at the port of entry. Shipments must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of the exporting country, and may be subject to additional treatment or inspection requirements depending on the origin country and any pest interception history. Importers should verify current APHIS import conditions for each source country before shipment.
Chile and South Africa harvest clementines during their Southern Hemisphere summer (roughly May through October), which corresponds to the US domestic off-season. This counter-seasonal supply window makes them the preferred sources for US retailers seeking year-round availability. Mediterranean producers such as Morocco supply the US primarily during the Northern Hemisphere winter season when their crops are in peak harvest.
