Last updated: April 2026 dataDuty rates for fresh and chilled eggplants shift by calendar season — the US tariff schedule distinguishes entries made April 1 through November 30 from those made December 1 through March 31, and within each window further separates Chinese-type, Italian-type, and all other varieties. Mexico dominates US supply year-round, with Canada and Honduras contributing meaningfully, making cross-border cold-chain logistics and seasonal tariff timing central concerns for importers. Admissibility is subject to FDA review, and USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply at the port of entry.

The April 1–November 30 and December 1–March 31 windows reflect different duty rates tied to domestic growing seasons. Importers must classify shipments under the correct seasonal subheading — Chinese-type (0709302020/0709304020), Italian-type (0709302040/0709304040), or NESOI (0709302060/0709304060) — based on both entry date and variety.
Fresh eggplants typically require a phytosanitary certificate from the country of origin attesting freedom from regulated pests. Depending on the source country, APHIS may impose additional conditions such as treatment requirements or inspection at the port of entry. Consult a licensed customs broker or APHIS for current admissibility conditions by origin.
