Guavas, Mangoes, and Mangosteens, Fresh or Dried

The US tariff schedule subdivides this heading with notable granularity: fresh mangoes are split by seasonal entry window (September 1–May 31 vs. June 1–August 31) and by certified organic status, while dried mangoes occupy separate lines (0804508010, 0804508020, 0804508040) and dried guavas and mangosteens share 0804508090. Mexico dominates fresh mango supply, with Peru and Ecuador also significant sources, making proximity and cold-chain logistics key competitive factors. Mangosteens face additional phytosanitary scrutiny under USDA APHIS rules, and importers should confirm approved treatment protocols before shipment. The seasonal tariff-line structure means correct entry-date classification is critical to avoid misclassification penalties.
