Last updated: April 2026 dataSeasonal entry windows are a defining feature of this heading: the US tariff schedule maintains separate 10-digit lines for grapefruit (0805408010) and pomelos (0805408090) entered between November 1 and July 31, alongside organic (0805400010) and conventional (0805400050) lines that apply year-round. South Africa is the leading supplier, with Vietnam and Mexico also significant sources, creating a supply mix that spans Southern Hemisphere counter-seasonal production and nearby conventional trade. Pomelos — the large, thick-rinded ancestor of the grapefruit — are classified alongside grapefruit here but may require separate documentation to distinguish them from grapefruit at entry. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply; consult a licensed customs broker or APHIS for current admissibility conditions by origin.

The seasonal lines (0805408010 for grapefruit and 0805408090 for pomelos, entered November 1 through July 31) reflect historical tariff-rate structures tied to the US domestic growing season. Entries outside that window fall under the non-seasonal lines. Importers must ensure the correct line is declared based on the actual date of entry, not the date of shipment.
CBP distinguishes pomelos from grapefruit based on variety and physical characteristics. Commercial invoices, phytosanitary certificates, and packing lists should clearly identify the fruit as pomelo (Citrus maxima or Citrus grandis) rather than grapefruit (Citrus paradisi). Ambiguous labeling risks reclassification between the two product-specific lines, which may carry different duty treatment.
