HS code for Dried grapes: 0806.20
Fruit, edible, grapes, dried.
Classification of dried grapes under HS 0806.20
The classification of dried grapes under HS code 080620 is governed by the rules of Chapter 8 in the Harmonized System, which encompasses edible fruit and nuts. Heading 0806 is dedicated to grapes, and it is divided into two primary subheadings: 080610 for fresh grapes and 080620 for dried grapes. This classification applies to all varieties of grapes that have been subjected to a drying process to reduce moisture content, which facilitates preservation and concentrates the natural sugars. Whether the grapes are dried in the sun, in the shade, or through mechanical means, they fall under this code. The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) specify that products are classified according to the terms of the headings. Since 080620 specifically mentions dried grapes, it takes precedence over more general headings. This code is used by customs authorities worldwide to apply appropriate tariffs and monitor the trade of raisins, sultanas, and currants. The classification remains valid even if the dried grapes have been treated with small amounts of oil or sulfur dioxide to maintain color and prevent sticking, as these are considered standard preservation techniques for dried fruits.

Codes often confused with 0806.20
Common mistake. Dried grapes are sometimes misclassified under HS code 200899, which covers fruit otherwise prepared or preserved. However, Chapter 8 notes specify that dried fruit remains in Chapter 8 even if it contains small amounts of added oil or preservatives to improve shelf life. If the grapes are preserved in syrup or alcohol, they would then move to Chapter 20. Another common error is using 080610, which is strictly for fresh grapes. Importers must ensure the moisture content reflects a dried state to avoid 080610.

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).
