HS code 0710.80 is the 6-digit subheading for vegetables, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, n.e.c. in heading no. 0710, frozen. It is used for frozen broccoli florets, frozen sweet corn kernels, frozen green beans, frozen cauliflower and frozen peas.
What HS 0710.80 covers
This HS code encompasses a wide array of individual frozen vegetables that have been blanched or cooked by steaming or boiling, but are not mixtures. It's a significant category in international trade, driven by consumer demand for convenience, extended shelf life, and access to out-of-season produce. Major importers include countries with limited agricultural land, cold climates, or strong food processing industries, such as Japan, Germany, and the United States. Exporters often come from regions with abundant agricultural output and advanced freezing capabilities, like Belgium, Poland, and China. Key considerations for trade involve maintaining the cold chain to prevent spoilage, adherence to food safety standards, and managing price fluctuations based on harvest yields and energy costs for freezing and transport. The global trend towards healthier eating and ready-to-cook meals continues to fuel demand for these versatile ingredients.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
