Classification of frozen raspberries under HS 0811.20
Frozen raspberries are classified under HS code 0811.20. This classification falls under Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System, which encompasses edible fruit and nuts, as well as the peel of citrus fruit or melons. Specifically, heading 0811 applies to fruit that is frozen, whether it is uncooked or has been cooked by steaming or boiling in water before freezing. A unique aspect of this heading is that it explicitly allows for the addition of sugar or other sweetening matter without changing the classification. The classification 0811.20 specifically groups raspberries along with blackberries, mulberries, loganberries, currants, and gooseberries. The technical requirement for this code is that the fruit must be maintained at a temperature that keeps it frozen throughout the transport and storage chain, and it must not be preserved in syrup or otherwise prepared in a manner that would classify it under Chapter 20.

Codes often confused with 0811.20
Common mistake. Frozen raspberries are often confused with fresh raspberries, which are classified under HS code 0810.20. Another common error involves raspberries preserved in sugar syrup; if the fruit is submerged in syrup rather than just having sugar crystals added before freezing, it may fall under HS code 2008.99. Furthermore, if the raspberries are processed into a puree that is highly sweetened or contains preservatives beyond simple freezing, they might be classified under heading 2007.

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).
