HS Code 0807.11 – Fruit, edible; watermelons, fresh
HS code 0807.11 is the 6-digit subheading for fruit, edible, watermelons, fresh. It is used for seedless Watermelon, crimson Sweet Watermelon, jubilee Watermelon, sugar Baby Watermelon and yellow Watermelon.
What HS 0807.11 covers
This HS code specifically covers fresh watermelons, a popular summer fruit traded globally for its refreshing taste and high water content. Due to their size and weight, logistics for watermelons require careful planning to minimize damage during transport and maintain freshness. Major producing countries include China, Turkey, Iran, and the USA, with significant cross-border trade, particularly from Mexico to the USA and Spain to Europe. Importers look for specific varieties (seeded vs. seedless), ripeness, and blemish-free appearance. The trade is highly seasonal, with peak demand during warmer months, and involves strict phytosanitary inspections to prevent the spread of pests and diseases. Innovations in packaging and the rise of mini-watermelons and pre-cut options are influencing market dynamics.

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).
