What HS 0711.90 covers
This HS code covers a broad range of vegetables and mixed vegetables that have been provisionally preserved, typically in brine, sulfur water, or other temporary solutions, making them unsuitable for immediate consumption without further processing. These goods are crucial raw materials for the food processing industry, enabling manufacturers to source seasonal produce year-round and convert it into ready-to-eat products like pickles, canned vegetables, or ingredients for prepared meals. Exporters are often countries with large agricultural sectors and processing capabilities, while importers are typically food manufacturers globally. Key aspects of this trade include adherence to food safety standards, consistent quality control, and efficient logistics to transport these semi-processed goods for final manufacturing.

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).
