Last updated: April 2026 dataCantaloupes, honeydew, Ogen, Galia, and other non-watermelon melons are all captured under this heading, with the US tariff schedule separating them by variety and by two seasonal entry windows: December 1–May 31 and June 1–November 30. Guatemala leads supply, with Mexico and Honduras also significant — a Central American sourcing base that reflects the region's warm-climate production capacity and proximity to US distribution networks. The heading also covers papayas, though papaya trade is typically tracked separately in commercial practice. Seasonal entry-date accuracy is critical, as the applicable 10-digit line depends on when CBP processes the entry, not when the fruit was harvested. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply; consult a licensed customs broker or APHIS for current admissibility conditions by origin.

Fresh papayas are classified under heading 080719 alongside non-watermelon melons in the current US HTS structure. However, importers should verify the specific 10-digit line applicable to papayas, as the schedule's NESOI lines (such as 0807199000) serve as the residual catch-all. Papayas from certain origins may also face USDA APHIS treatment requirements, including irradiation, that differ from those applied to melons.
Ogen and Galia melons have their own dedicated tariff line (0807195000) for entries between December 1 and May 31, reflecting their distinct commercial identity as Israeli-origin hybrid varieties now grown across multiple countries. Outside that seasonal window, or if the variety cannot be confirmed as Ogen or Galia, the shipment falls into the applicable NESOI honeydew or general melon line. Variety documentation from the exporter is advisable to support the specific classification.
