HS code for Canned cranberries: 2008.93
Fruit, cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon, Vaccinium oxycoccos), Iingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), prepared or preserved, whether or not containing added sugar, other sweetening matter or spirit.
Classification of canned cranberries under HS 2008.93
Canned cranberries are classified under HS code 2008.93. This code is located within Chapter 20, covering preparations of fruit and vegetables. The subheading 2008.93 specifically identifies cranberries of the Vaccinium species (including Vaccinium macrocarpon and Vaccinium oxycoccos) and lingonberries. The classification is driven by the preservation method; canning the berries in syrup or water constitutes a preparation that exceeds the scope of Chapter 8, which is reserved for fresh or dried fruit. Even if the berries are kept whole, the addition of sugar or the heat-treatment process required for canning necessitates classification in Chapter 20. This code is used for both sweetened and unsweetened preparations, provided they have not been cooked into a homogenized jam or jelly.

Codes often confused with 2008.93
Common mistake. Canned cranberries are often misclassified under 2007.99, which covers cranberry jams and jellied sauces. If the product is a smooth, gelatinous mass, it belongs in 2007. Another common mistake is 0810.40, which is for fresh cranberries. If the cranberries are dried and then canned, they might still fall under 0813.40 depending on the liquid content and preservation method.

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).
