Last updated: August 2026 dataSeasonal entry windows are a defining feature of fresh pear classification: the US tariff schedule segments imports into April 1–June 30 and July 1–March 31 entry periods, with separate lines for Asian pears (0808302035), other pears, and organic fruit across both windows. Argentina is the leading supplier, leveraging Southern Hemisphere harvest timing to supply the US market during the domestic off-season. South Korea is a notable source of Asian pear varieties, which are classified separately from European-type pears during the April–June window. All fresh pear shipments are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements; admissibility conditions and compliance are complex — consult a licensed customs broker or USDA APHIS.

During the April 1–June 30 entry window, Asian pears have their own dedicated tariff line (0808302035), separate from other non-organic pears (0808302045). Outside that window, Asian pears and other non-organic pears are consolidated under 0808304045. Importers should confirm the botanical variety and entry date to ensure correct line selection, as the distinction affects duty treatment.
The US schedule applies different tariff rates depending on whether pears enter during April 1–June 30 versus July 1–March 31. This seasonal structure reflects domestic production cycles and is designed to provide differential protection during periods of US harvest. Importers must use the actual date of entry — not the shipment or invoice date — to determine the correct 10-digit HTS line.
