Last updated: August 2026 dataFresh and dried oranges enter the US under USDA APHIS phytosanitary oversight, with admissibility conditions that vary significantly by country of origin and growing region — reflecting the agency's pest-exclusion protocols for citrus diseases such as citrus greening (HLB) and citrus canker. Seasonal supply patterns strongly influence import volumes, as domestic US production in Florida and California competes with Southern Hemisphere harvests from countries such as South Africa and Chile during the northern winter off-season. Importers must ensure that phytosanitary certificates accompany each shipment and that any required treatment (cold treatment, irradiation) has been completed prior to entry.

USDA APHIS may require cold treatment, irradiation, or other approved phytosanitary measures for fresh oranges depending on the country of origin and the pest risks associated with that origin. Treatment protocols are specified in APHIS import permits or systems approaches, and shipments without proper documentation or completed treatments will be refused entry or held for remediation. Consult a licensed customs broker and verify current APHIS requirements before shipment.
Fresh oranges are highly seasonal, and US import demand peaks during the domestic off-season (roughly May through October) when Southern Hemisphere producers are harvesting. Dried oranges, by contrast, are traded year-round as a shelf-stable ingredient for the food manufacturing and confectionery sectors, and their classification under the same SITC heading can obscure the very different commercial dynamics of the two product forms.
