Last updated: July 2026 dataSeasonal entry windows drive the tariff classification of fresh plums and prune plums, with US schedule lines splitting shipments entering January 1–May 31 (0809402000) from those entering June 1–December 31 (0809404000) — a distinction that directly affects duty liability and entry planning. Chile dominates US supply, followed by South Africa and Argentina, reflecting the Southern Hemisphere harvest calendar that fills the winter import window when domestic production is dormant. Sloes, a tart wild relative of the plum, are commercially minor but classified within the same heading. Importers should coordinate arrival timing carefully, as a shipment crossing a seasonal boundary can shift it into a different tariff line with a different rate.

The US schedule subdivides this heading by calendar entry window — January 1 through May 31 versus June 1 through December 31 — and each window carries its own tariff line and potentially different duty rate. Importers must confirm the actual CBP entry date, not the shipment date, to ensure correct classification.
Chile, South Africa, and Argentina harvest plums during their summer months (roughly November–March), which aligns with the US winter import window. This counter-seasonal supply pattern is why those three countries lead US imports and why the January–May tariff window sees the heaviest commercial volume.
