Last updated: August 2026 dataImported natural honey faces a layered compliance environment: FDA regulates it as a food, and USDA APHIS enforces phytosanitary and pest-risk protocols at the border. Adulteration and mislabeling — particularly blending with high-fructose corn syrup or misrepresenting country of origin — are persistent enforcement concerns that customs brokers and food importers must document carefully. Antidumping duty orders have historically applied to honey from certain origins, making supplier selection and origin documentation critical for cost management.

Yes. The US has maintained antidumping duty orders on honey from certain countries for many years. Importers should verify whether their supplier's country of origin is subject to an active order and obtain the correct cash deposit rate from CBP before shipment.
FDA and CBP expect certificates of origin, pollen analysis reports, and sometimes C4/C3 isotope test results to confirm the honey has not been adulterated with sugar syrups. Country-of-origin labeling must be accurate, as transshipment through third countries to avoid antidumping orders is a known enforcement target.
