U.S. imports of fresh cranberries, blueberries & other vaccinium fruits (HS 081040) totaled $153.4M in April 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPeru has emerged as the dominant supplier of fresh blueberries to the US market, with Mexico and Canada also significant, reflecting the rapid expansion of highbush blueberry cultivation in South America. The heading covers the entire genus Vaccinium โ including wild blueberries, cultivated (including highbush) blueberries, cranberries, and other species โ with the US schedule distinguishing wild from cultivated blueberries and separating organic from conventional at the 10-digit level. FDA governs fresh fruit admissibility, and USDA APHIS phytosanitary conditions apply at entry. Importers should note that wild blueberries (0810400024) and cultivated blueberries (0810400026, 0810400029) carry separate lines, so accurate variety and cultivation-method documentation is required.

Under the US schedule, wild blueberries (0810400024) are lowbush varieties (primarily Vaccinium angustifolium) harvested from naturally occurring stands, while cultivated blueberries (0810400026 for organic; 0810400029 for others) include highbush and other commercially farmed varieties. The distinction must be supported by documentation from the exporter identifying the species and production method; a cultivated highbush berry cannot be entered as wild.
Peru's counter-seasonal harvest (primarily October through March) allows US buyers to source fresh blueberries during the domestic off-season, but concentration in a single origin creates supply-chain risk from weather events, labor disruptions, or phytosanitary restrictions. Buyers increasingly diversify across Mexico and Canada for spring and summer volume to reduce dependence on any single corridor.
