Last updated: August 2026 dataCultivated highbush blueberries, wild blueberries, cranberries, and other Vaccinium species each occupy distinct 10-digit lines under this heading, reflecting the commercial importance of variety and growing method to US buyers. Peru has become the dominant supplier of fresh cultivated blueberries, with Mexico and Canada also significant. FDA produce-safety regulations and USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements govern entry, and importers should ensure that organic claims align with the specific line (0810400026) rather than the conventional cultivated line (0810400029). Wild blueberries (0810400024) are a separate classification from cultivated highbush varieties and require accurate species documentation.

Wild blueberries (0810400024) are low-bush Vaccinium angustifolium or related wild-harvested species, typically smaller and more intensely flavored, while cultivated lines (0810400026 for organic, 0810400029 for conventional) cover highbush varieties grown in managed agricultural settings. The distinction matters at entry because the lines carry different duty treatment, and documentation confirming the growing method or species may be requested.
Peru's dominance in fresh cultivated blueberry supply means US importers are exposed to Peruvian seasonal patterns, phytosanitary policy changes, and logistics disruptions. Diversifying to secondary suppliers such as Mexico or Canada can reduce that risk, though Canadian supply is largely limited to a short summer window.
