U.S. imports of prepared or preserved pears (HS 200840) totaled $4.1M in April 2026, traded with 13 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataContainer size is the primary classification variable for prepared and preserved pears in the US tariff schedule: retail-sized units under 1.4 kg fall under 2008400020, while bulk or food-service containers of 1.4 kg or more are classified at 2008400040. China is the leading supplier, with South Africa and Greece also prominent — a geographically diverse source base that reflects both Northern and Southern Hemisphere harvest windows and gives buyers some flexibility in managing seasonal supply gaps. Canned pear halves and slices in syrup or juice are the dominant commercial forms, used extensively in institutional food service.

The 1.4 kg threshold distinguishes two separate 10-digit HTS lines (2008400020 and 2008400040), and each line may carry a different duty rate. Importers should verify the net weight per container at the time of entry, as duty liability is determined by the line under which the goods are classified.
Canned pears are subject to FDA prior notice of arrival, and hermetically sealed low-acid or acidified products must comply with FDA's LACF/acidified food regulations, including registration of the foreign processing facility. Labels must meet US nutrition labeling and ingredient declaration standards. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA regulatory specialist to confirm current admissibility requirements.
