Classification of cranberries under HS 0810.40

Fresh cranberries are classified under HS code 081040, a designation that falls within Chapter 08 of the Harmonized System, which covers edible fruit and nuts. Heading 0810 is a category for \"other fruit, fresh,\" acting as a classification point for various berries and fruits that do not have their own specific headings earlier in the chapter. Subheading 081040 specifically identifies fruits of the genus Vaccinium. This genus includes cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon and Vaccinium oxycoccos), as well as bilberries and other similar wild berries. The classification is strictly limited to fruit in its fresh state. The Harmonized System uses the state of preservation as a primary divider; therefore, once a cranberry is frozen, dried, or preserved in syrup, it moves to a different heading. For 081040, the fruit must be fresh and intended for consumption or processing in that state. This code is essential for phytosanitary monitoring and international trade statistics regarding the berry industry. The classification process requires botanical confirmation of the genus to ensure the fruit is not confused with other small red fruits like redcurrants, which are classified elsewhere under 081030. Proper temperature control during transport is often a requirement for goods under this code to maintain their \"fresh\" status.

Codes often confused with 0810.40

Common mistake. Cranberries are frequently misclassified under HS code 081190 if they are frozen, or 081340 if they are dried. Heading 0811 is specifically for fruit that has been cooked or uncooked, steamed or boiled in water, and then frozen. Heading 0813 covers dried fruits. Additionally, if the cranberries are provisionally preserved (e.g., in sulfur dioxide gas) but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption, they fall under 081290.

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).
