Classification of baby food fruit under HS 2007.10
Baby food fruit preparations are classified under HS code 2007.10 based on the specific processing methods and packaging requirements outlined in the Harmonized System. This code falls under Chapter 20, which covers preparations of vegetables, fruit, nuts, or other parts of plants. According to Note 2 to Chapter 20, the term "homogenised preparations" refers to preparations of fruit which have been finely leveled and put up for retail sale as food suitable for infants or young children or for dietetic purposes. These must be in containers with a net weight content not exceeding 250 grams. The classification is driven by General Interpretative Rule 1, which prioritizes the legal notes of the chapters. Because these products are cooked and homogenised, they are distinct from simple fruit purees that might be found in Chapter 8 or other parts of Chapter 20. The inclusion of added sugar or other sweetening matter does not change this classification, provided the preparation remains homogenised and packaged for the specified retail use. This ensures that specialized nutritional products for infants are tracked separately from bulk fruit commodities and industrial purees used in food manufacturing.

Codes often confused with 2007.10
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 1901.10, which covers food preparations for infants and young children put up for retail sale. However, 1901.10 is generally for milk-based or cereal-based products. Pure fruit preparations belong in 2007.10. Additionally, if the container exceeds 250 grams, it must be classified under 2007.99 as a standard fruit puree rather than a homogenised baby food preparation.

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).
