Fruit, edible, grapes, fresh.

Classification of fresh grapes under HS 0806.10

Fresh grapes are classified under HS code 0806.10 within the international Harmonized System. This classification is situated within Chapter 8, which encompasses edible fruit and nuts, as well as the peel of citrus fruit or melons. Specifically, heading 0806 is dedicated to grapes, whether they are fresh or dried. The subheading 0806.10 is reserved exclusively for the fresh variety. The classification process for these goods is governed by the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System, which dictate that products must be classified according to the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. For grapes to fall under this specific code, they must be in their natural, fresh state at the time of customs declaration. This typically involves transport in temperature-controlled environments to maintain their turgidity and prevent the onset of fermentation or natural dehydration. The code applies regardless of the intended end-use, meaning that both table grapes for direct consumption and wine grapes intended for viticulture are classified here, provided they remain fresh and whole. If the grapes have undergone any significant processing, such as being crushed, boiled, or preserved in syrup, they would be excluded from this chapter and moved to Chapter 20 or 22.

Codes often confused with 0806.10

Common mistake. Fresh grapes are frequently confused with dried grapes, which are classified under HS code 0806.20. The primary distinction is the moisture content and the preservation method. Additionally, grapes that have been prepared or preserved (for example, by heat treatment or the addition of sugar) fall under HS code 2008.99. It is also important to distinguish fresh grapes from grape must, which is classified under heading 2204 if it is partially fermented or 2009 if it is unfermented juice.

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).
