HS code for Dried fruit: 0813.40
Fruit, edible, fruit n.e.c. in heading no. 0812, dried.
Classification of dried fruit under HS 0813.40
Dried fruit is classified under HS code 0813.40. This code is found in Chapter 8, which covers edible fruit and nuts. Heading 0813 is specifically for fruit that has been dried, excluding the fruits already mentioned in headings 0801 to 0806 (such as dates, figs, pineapples, and grapes). Subheading 0813.40 serves as the "other" category for dried fruits like berries, peaches, and pears. Classification under this code requires that the fruit has undergone a drying process—either through solar exposure or mechanical means—to reduce moisture content for preservation. While the addition of small amounts of preservatives like sulfur dioxide is permitted to maintain color and shelf life, the fruit must not be preserved in sugar (candied) or syrup. Proper classification is essential for determining customs duties and ensuring compliance with phytosanitary regulations, as dried fruits are subject to different inspection standards than fresh fruits.

Codes often confused with 0813.40
Common mistake. Dried fruit is often misclassified under HS code 0806.20 (dried grapes/raisins) or 0813.10 (dried apricots), which have their own specific codes. Another major error is using HS code 2006.00 for candied fruit or 2008 for fruit preserved in syrup. If the fruit has been heavily sweetened or processed into a paste, it no longer belongs in Chapter 8 and must be moved to Chapter 20.

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).
