What HS 0907.10 covers
HS code 090710 covers whole cloves, including the fruit, buds, and stems, that have not been crushed or ground.

These whole cloves are traded for a multitude of uses, including direct culinary application, as a key ingredient in spice blends, for the extraction of essential oils (eugenol), and in traditional medicine. Importers, such as India, the United States, and countries within the European Union, value the quality of whole cloves based on their aroma, oil content, and visual integrity.

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).
