Last updated: April 2026 dataGrapefruit occupies a distinct SITC heading reflecting its commercial importance as both a fresh retail fruit and a juice-processing input, with white and red/pink varieties commanding different market premiums. US domestic production — centered in Florida and Texas — has declined significantly due to citrus greening disease, increasing reliance on imports from countries such as Mexico and South Africa to fill supply gaps. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements govern all fresh grapefruit imports, and admissibility conditions are origin-specific.

Citrus greening (Huanglongbing/HLB) has severely reduced Florida's grapefruit output over the past two decades, shifting the US from a net exporter to a more import-dependent market for certain grapefruit products. This has elevated the commercial importance of foreign suppliers and increased scrutiny of phytosanitary protocols, since APHIS must balance market access with the risk of introducing HLB-associated pests into remaining domestic citrus-growing areas.
Yes — the US HTS schedule distinguishes between white-fleshed and red- or pink-fleshed grapefruit at the subheading level, reflecting their different market values and trade flows. Both fall under SITC 05722, but importers must identify the correct HTS subheading based on flesh color to ensure accurate duty assessment and statistical reporting.
