U.S. imports of pumpkins, squash & gourds, fresh or chilled (HS 070993) totaled $34.3M in April 2026, traded with 11 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataThe US tariff schedule breaks this heading into an unusually granular set of lines distinguishing certified-organic from non-organic product and separating named varieties — zucchini, butternut, spaghetti, yellow straightneck, kabocha, and acorn squash — each with its own 10-digit code. Mexico is by far the dominant supplier, with Canada contributing meaningfully given its USMCA trading relationship. Importers must select the correct variety- and organic-status line at entry, as misclassification between, for example, 0709932020 (organic zucchini) and 0709932055 (non-organic zucchini) can trigger liquidation issues.

To enter squash under a certified-organic line such as 0709932020 or 0709932022, the importer must present valid organic certification documentation issued by a USDA-accredited certifying agent or an equivalent foreign certifier recognized under a USDA equivalency arrangement. The certification must cover the specific lot being imported.
Congress and CBP have created variety-specific lines to enable more precise trade monitoring and, in some cases, to apply differentiated duty treatment. For importers, this means the commercial invoice and entry documents must identify both the squash variety and its organic status accurately — a generic description of 'squash' is insufficient for proper classification.
