Last updated: April 2026 dataEasy-peel citrus — including tangerines, satsumas, clementines, and proprietary hybrid varieties — is one of the fastest-growing fresh-fruit import categories, driven by strong retail demand for convenient snacking formats. USDA APHIS governs admissibility, and approved import conditions differ by variety and origin; clementines from Spain and Morocco, for example, have historically operated under specific systems-approach agreements. Dried mandarin peel is also captured here and serves as a flavoring ingredient in the food and beverage industry.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes — while SITC 05712 groups all mandarin-type citrus together, the US HTS schedule distinguishes among tangerines, mandarins, clementines, and other hybrids at finer classification levels. The specific variety and whether the fruit is fresh or dried will determine the applicable 10-digit HTS subheading and its associated duty rate.
Fresh mandarin-type citrus must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of the exporting country. Depending on origin, APHIS may also require compliance with a systems approach (covering orchard inspections, packinghouse procedures, and port-of-entry inspection) or a specific treatment protocol. Importers should confirm current APHIS requirements for the specific origin before contracting shipments. Consult a licensed customs broker for admissibility guidance.
