Last updated: April 2026 data

Seasonal entry windows drive the tariff structure for fresh plums, prune plums, and sloes: one 10-digit line (0809402000) applies specifically to shipments entered between January 1 and May 31, capturing the Southern Hemisphere harvest window when Chile and South Africa dominate US supply. Argentina rounds out the top three sources, making South American origin the norm for winter and spring arrivals. FDA regulates fresh fruit admissibility, and importers should verify phytosanitary certificates and any USDA APHIS pest-interception requirements before shipment. Classification between prune plums and other plum varieties can affect duty treatment, so precise product identification at entry is essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the entry date matter for classifying fresh plums under this heading?

The US tariff schedule includes a dedicated 10-digit line (0809402000) for plums and sloes entered between January 1 and May 31. Shipments arriving outside that window fall under a different line, so the port-of-entry date — not the ship date — determines which code applies and what duty rate is assessed.

What documentation is typically required for fresh plum imports from Chile or South Africa?

Importers generally need a phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country's national plant protection organization, compliance with any USDA APHIS import conditions for the specific pest risk profile of the origin country, and FDA prior notice for food shipments. Chile and South Africa each have bilateral phytosanitary protocols with the US that specify approved growing regions and treatment requirements.
