Classification of dried apricots under HS 0813.10
Dried apricots are classified under HS code 0813.10. This classification is situated within Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System, which encompasses edible fruits and nuts. Heading 0813 specifically covers dried fruits (excluding those in headings 0801 through 0806). Subheading 0813.10 is the specific code for apricots that have been dried. The drying process typically involves removing the pit and exposing the fruit to heat or sunlight until the moisture content is significantly reduced, often resulting in a characteristic orange color if treated with sulfur dioxide, or a darker brown if untreated. This code applies to whole, halved, or sliced dried apricots. It is important to distinguish these from fresh apricots (0809.10) or apricots that have been prepared or preserved in other ways, such as being cooked with sugar or preserved in alcohol, which would move the classification to Chapter 20. The classification is vital for international trade statistics and the application of specific agricultural duties.

Codes often confused with 0813.10
Common mistake. Dried apricots are frequently confused with candied or glacé apricots, which are classified under 2006.00. Candied fruits are preserved by sugar and have a significantly higher sugar content than standard dried fruits. Another common misclassification is 2008.50, which covers apricots that are preserved in syrup or otherwise prepared. Fresh apricots fall under 0809.10. If the dried apricots are part of a trail mix or a mixture of dried fruits, they may be classified under 0813.50, which covers mixtures of dried fruits or nuts of Chapter 8.

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).
