HS Code 0810.40 – Fruit, edible; cranberries, bilberries and other fruits of the genus vaccinium, fresh
HS code 0810.40 is the 6-digit subheading for fruit, edible, cranberries, bilberries and other fruits of the genus vaccinium, fresh. It is used for fresh cranberries, fresh bilberries, fresh blueberries, lingonberries and huckleberries.
What HS 0810.40 covers
This category covers the international trade of fresh cranberries, bilberries, and other Vaccinium genus fruits, which are primarily grown in cooler, temperate climates. Cranberries are particularly significant, with major producers like the USA and Canada dominating the export market, often for both fresh consumption during holidays and for processing into juices and sauces. Bilberries, often wild-harvested, see more regional trade, especially within Europe. Blueberries, also part of this genus, are a rapidly growing segment, with Chile and Peru emerging as major counter-seasonal suppliers. The trade in these fruits is driven by their recognized health benefits and versatility in food products, requiring efficient cold storage and transport to extend their shelf life and reach distant markets.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
