Last updated: July 2026 dataFresh kiwifruit — botanically Actinidia chinensis, commercially known as kiwi or Chinese gooseberry — is a strongly seasonal import driven by Southern Hemisphere harvest cycles, with New Zealand and Italy as the leading suppliers to the US market. The US schedule separates certified organic kiwifruit (0810500010) from conventional (0810500090), reflecting growing retail demand for organic product. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements and FDA produce-safety rules under FSMA both apply at entry, and importers should confirm that shipments meet US grade and labeling standards for fresh fruit.

650 shipments/mo
New Zealand and Chile harvest kiwifruit between March and June, and post-harvest cold storage extends availability through much of the year. Italian and Greek product, harvested in autumn, fills Northern Hemisphere supply windows. US importers typically plan procurement around these overlapping seasons to maintain year-round availability, with New Zealand dominating peak import volumes.
Most fresh kiwifruit shipments require a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of the exporting country, attesting that the fruit is free from regulated pests. USDA APHIS may impose additional conditions — such as cold treatment for certain pest risks — depending on the origin country. Consult a licensed customs broker or APHIS for current admissibility requirements.
