Mexico is the dominant supplier, leveraging its proximity to the US market and established berry-processing infrastructure, with Canada and France also contributing.

Strawberry jams, jellies, and marmalades are classified under HTS Chapter 20 heading 2007, not 200880. Prepared or preserved strawberries under 200880 retain more of the fruit's physical form or are preserved in a medium (such as syrup) without reaching the gel structure characteristic of jam. The degree of processing and the product's physical state are the key classification factors; a CBP binding ruling can resolve borderline cases.
Importers must file FDA prior notice before arrival, ensure the Mexican processing facility is registered with FDA, and confirm that labeling meets US requirements for ingredient declaration and nutrition facts. If the product is hermetically sealed and low-acid, the facility must also comply with FDA's LACF regulations. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA regulatory specialist to verify current admissibility requirements.
