Last updated: April 2026 dataMexico supplies the overwhelming majority of fresh watermelons entering the United States, with Guatemala and Honduras providing supplemental volume — a geographic concentration that makes USMCA origin documentation and cross-border logistics central to importer planning. The US tariff schedule is unusually granular for this fruit, distinguishing mini seedless, other seedless, and conventional watermelons across two seasonal entry windows (December 1–March 31 and April 1–November 30), with organic certification adding a further layer of subdivision. Importers must correctly identify size category (mini vs. other), seed type, organic status, and entry date to land on the right 10-digit line. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply; consult a licensed customs broker or APHIS for current admissibility conditions.

CBP guidance and industry practice generally treat mini seedless watermelons as those weighing approximately 1–3 kg (roughly 2–7 lbs), though there is no single statutory weight threshold in the tariff schedule itself. Importers uncertain about size-category boundaries should consult CBP or request a binding ruling, particularly for shipments of smaller personal-size varieties that could straddle the mini/other distinction.
Mexico is the dominant supplier of fresh watermelons to the US and qualifies as a USMCA partner. Watermelons of Mexican origin that meet USMCA rules of origin are eligible for preferential duty treatment under that agreement. Importers must maintain origin documentation — typically a USMCA certification of origin — to claim the preference at entry.
