Classification of frozen strawberries under HS 0811.10
Frozen strawberries are classified under HS code 081110. This classification is part of Chapter 8, which encompasses edible fruit and nuts, as well as the peel of citrus fruit or melons. Heading 0811 is specifically designated for fruit and nuts that are uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter. Subheading 081110 is the specific code for strawberries. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the strawberries are whole, sliced, diced, or crushed, provided they are maintained in a frozen state. A unique aspect of this heading is that the addition of sugar or other sweeteners does not disqualify the product from this classification, which is a departure from the rules governing many vegetable classifications in Chapter 7. The freezing process must be sufficient to ensure the product is frozen throughout to meet the requirements of this heading.

Codes often confused with 0811.10
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 081010, which is reserved for fresh strawberries. Importers must ensure that the product's state at the time of customs entry is correctly identified. Additionally, frozen strawberries are sometimes confused with HS code 200880. Heading 2008 covers fruit otherwise prepared or preserved, such as strawberries preserved in thick syrup or those that have been previously cooked in ways other than steaming or boiling. If the strawberries are part of a complex fruit mix or have been pureed into a smooth liquid state before freezing, they may also fall under different subheadings within 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).
