Fruit, edible, apples, dried.
Classification of dried apples under HS 0813.30
Dried apples are classified under HS code 0813.30, which is part of Chapter 8, covering edible fruit and nuts; peel of citrus fruit or melons. Heading 0813 is dedicated to fruit, dried, other than that of headings 0801 to 0806, and mixtures of nuts or dried fruits. Subheading 0813.30 specifically identifies apples. To fall under this classification, the apples must have undergone a dehydration process to remove the majority of their moisture content, resulting in a shelf-stable product. This includes various forms such as rings, slices, or dices. The classification excludes apples that have been preserved in syrup (Chapter 20) or those that have been ground into a fine flour (Chapter 11). Proper classification is essential for applying the correct agricultural tariffs and monitoring food safety standards during cross-border trade. The drying method—whether sun-dried, oven-dried, or freeze-dried—generally does not change the classification under 0813.30.

Codes often confused with 0813.30
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with apple chips that have been fried or prepared with added fats or sugars; these are often classified under 2008.99 as prepared fruit. Another error involves apple flour or meal, which should be classified under 1106.30. Fresh apples are classified under 0808.10, and it is important not to confuse the two, as fresh fruit often has different quarantine requirements. Additionally, if the dried apples are part of a mixture of dried fruits and nuts, the entire mixture might be classified under 0813.50 depending on the predominant component.

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).
