U.S. imports of fresh or dried hop cones (whole, not ground or pelleted) (HS 121010) totaled $36K in April 2026, traded with 3 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataWhole hop cones — neither ground, powdered, nor pelleted — are the least-processed commercial form of hops and are used primarily by craft brewers and specialty hop merchants seeking varietal aroma integrity. New Zealand leads US imports under this heading, with Germany and the United Kingdom also significant sources, reflecting the global concentration of hop cultivation in a handful of temperate regions. Because whole cones are bulkier and more perishable than pellets, cold-chain logistics and harvest-season timing are central supply-chain considerations. The single 10-digit line (1210100000) covers all whole fresh and dried hop cones regardless of variety.

Whole hop cones that are neither ground, powdered, nor formed into pellets are classified under 121010, while ground, powdered, or pelleted hops — including lupulin — fall under 121020. The physical form at the time of importation determines classification; repackaging or processing after entry does not affect the original tariff treatment.
Yes. Hops are an annual crop harvested primarily in late summer in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, so import volumes are highly seasonal. Brewers relying on whole cones from New Zealand or Germany should plan procurement and cold-storage logistics around harvest windows, as spot availability outside the post-harvest period can be limited.
