What HS 0813.10 covers

This HS code specifically covers dried apricots, a globally traded commodity valued for their nutritional content, long shelf life, and versatility. Dried apricots are consumed directly as a snack, used extensively in baking, confectionery, breakfast cereals, and various culinary applications. Major importers are typically countries with high consumer demand for healthy snacks and ingredients for processed foods, such as the EU, USA, and Russia. Exporters are primarily nations with significant apricot cultivation and advanced drying facilities, with Turkey being the dominant global supplier. Key considerations in this trade include moisture content, sulfur dioxide levels (often used for color preservation), quality grading, and adherence to international food safety standards. The market for dried apricots is influenced by harvest yields, evolving consumer health trends, and competitive pricing dynamics, making it a dynamic sector.

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).
