Fruit, edible, melons, other than watermelons, fresh.
Classification of cantaloupe under HS 0807.19
Cantaloupe is classified under HS code 0807.19. This code is part of Chapter 08, which encompasses edible fruit and nuts. Specifically, heading 0807 covers melons (including watermelons) and papaws (papayas), fresh. Within this heading, a distinction is made between watermelons (0807.11) and other melons. Cantaloupe, being a variety of muskmelon (Cucumis melo), falls into the \"other\" category of 0807.19. The classification applies to the fruit in its fresh state. If the fruit were frozen, dried, or otherwise preserved, it would shift to different headings within Chapter 08, such as 0811 or 0813. The botanical nature of the cantaloupe as a member of the Cucurbitaceae family defines its placement here. This code is used globally to track the trade of fresh muskmelons, including cantaloupes, honeydews, and similar varieties. Proper classification ensures that phytosanitary regulations and seasonal tariffs are correctly applied during customs clearance.

Codes often confused with 0807.19
Common mistake. Cantaloupe is most commonly misclassified under 0807.11, which is specifically for watermelons. While they are both melons, the HS system separates watermelons due to their high trade volume and different botanical genus (Citrullus). Another error is using 0813.40 for dried cantaloupe; 0807.19 is strictly for fresh fruit. Importers must also avoid 0811.90, which is reserved for frozen fruit pieces.

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).
