HS code for Gooseberries: 0810.30

Fruit, edible, black, white or red currants and gooseberries, fresh.

Classification of gooseberries under HS 0810.30

Fresh gooseberries are classified under HS code 0810.30. Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System covers edible fruit and nuts, as well as the peel of citrus fruit or melons. Heading 0810 is reserved for "Other fruit, fresh," which includes various berries and fruits not listed in the more specific preceding headings (like 0801 to 0809). Subheading 0810.30 specifically groups together black, white, or red currants and gooseberries. The classification is based on the botanical nature of the fruit and its state as a fresh, unprocessed product. For international trade, this code ensures that soft fruits with similar storage requirements and shelf lives are grouped together for customs and phytosanitary monitoring.

Codes often confused with 0810.30

Common mistake. Gooseberries are frequently misclassified under HS code 0811.20 if they are imported in a frozen state. Heading 0811 is specifically for fruit that has been cooked or uncooked, steamed or boiled in water, and then frozen. Another common error is using HS code 0813.40 for dried gooseberries, as Chapter 8 separates fresh, frozen, and dried fruits into distinct headings. Prepared gooseberries in syrup would fall under 2008.99.

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).
