What HS 0806.20 covers
This HS code covers dried grapes, commonly known as raisins, sultanas, and currants, which are a staple in the global food industry. Unlike fresh grapes, dried varieties boast a long shelf life, making them ideal for bulk trade and use in baking, confectionery, breakfast cereals, and as a healthy snack. Major producing countries such as Turkey, the USA (California), Iran, and South Africa utilize various drying methods, including sun-drying and mechanical processes, to produce different types and qualities. International trade involves adherence to food safety standards, moisture content limits, and packaging requirements for both industrial and retail markets. The stability of this product reduces logistical complexities compared to fresh produce, but quality control for consistency in size, color, and flavor remains crucial for market acceptance.

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).
