U.S. imports of dates, fresh or dried (HS 080410) totaled $10.6M in April 2026, traded with 21 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataDates enter the US under a detailed set of tariff lines that distinguish certified organic product, whole dates packed in small consumer units (under 4.6 kg), whole pitted dates, whole unpitted dates, and non-whole forms — seven lines in total under heading 0804.10. Mexico leads US date imports, followed by Tunisia and Israel, reflecting both proximity and the prominence of Medjool and Deglet Noor varieties in North American retail. FDA regulates dates as a food commodity, and importers should ensure compliance with labeling requirements, particularly for consumer-packaged whole dates where net weight and country-of-origin marking are closely scrutinized.

The US schedule specifically carves out whole dates packed in units weighing less than 4.6 kg each under lines 0804102010 (certified organic) and 0804102090 (other). Whole dates in larger bulk packaging fall under the general whole-date lines (0804104000 for with pits, 0804106000 for pitted). Importers should confirm the actual net weight per individual consumer unit — not the total shipment weight — when determining the correct line.
The 'except whole' line (0804108000) captures dates that have been cut, chopped, diced, or otherwise reduced from their whole form, as well as date paste or pieces. Whole dates that have been pitted but remain otherwise intact are classified under the pitted whole line (0804106000), not the 'except whole' line. The distinction matters because processing method determines the applicable tariff line.
