HS code 2201.10 is the 6-digit subheading for waters, mineral and aerated, including natural or artificial, (not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter nor flavoured).

What HS 2201.10 covers
This HS code covers natural mineral waters and artificially prepared aerated waters that are unsweetened and unflavored. In international trade, these goods are valued for their perceived purity, specific mineral content, and refreshing qualities. Major exporters often include countries with abundant natural springs, such as France, Italy, and Germany, while significant importers are typically nations with high disposable income, a strong health-conscious consumer base, or limited domestic natural water sources, like the USA, UK, and China. Key aspects of trade involve ensuring source authenticity, stringent quality control, and efficient logistics for bottled products. The market sees a constant demand for premium brands, often marketed with health benefits or unique geological origins, driving significant cross-border movement of these natural resources.

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).
