Last updated: August 2026 dataFresh melons other than watermelons — including cantaloupes, honeydew, Ogen, and Galia varieties — along with papayas are classified here, with the US tariff schedule using both variety and seasonal entry date as classification criteria across nine 10-digit lines. Cantaloupes entered between September 16 and July 31 (0807192000) carry different duty treatment than those entered at other times, and Ogen/Galia melons are similarly split by entry date, making the calendar date of importation a legally significant classification variable. Guatemala and Mexico lead supply, with Honduras and Costa Rica also contributing, reflecting the Central American growing regions that supply the US market during winter and spring months. FDA admissibility review applies to all fresh melon and papaya imports.

Several 10-digit lines within 080719 are defined by the calendar period during which the goods enter US customs territory — for example, cantaloupes entered between September 16 and July 31 fall under 0807192000, while those entered outside that window use a different line. This seasonal split reflects tariff-rate distinctions tied to domestic growing seasons. Importers must use the actual date of entry (not the shipment or invoice date) to determine the correct subheading.
Yes — fresh papayas and melons from certain origins may be subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary inspection and, in some cases, irradiation or cold-treatment requirements to address pest risks such as fruit flies. Importers should consult current APHIS import conditions for the specific origin country and commodity before shipment, as requirements vary by source and can change based on pest interception data.
