HS code for Guavas: 0804.50
Fruit, edible, guavas, mangoes and mangosteens, fresh or dried.
Classification of guavas under HS 0804.50
Guavas are classified under HS code 080450, which falls within Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System, covering edible fruit and nuts. Heading 0804 specifically includes dates, figs, pineapples, avocados, guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens. The subheading 080450 groups guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens together. This classification applies to the fruit in its fresh or dried state. The determination for this code relies on the botanical nature of the product and its state of preservation. If the fruit is fresh or has undergone a simple drying process without further preparation like cooking, freezing, or preservation in syrup, it remains within this heading. The HS system prioritizes the state of the fruit (fresh/dried) over its intended use, whether for direct consumption or industrial processing into juices or purees.

Codes often confused with 0804.50
Common mistake. Guavas are often misclassified under HS code 0811 if they are imported in a frozen state, as 0811 specifically covers fruit and nuts, uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen. Another common error is using HS code 2008, which applies to fruit otherwise prepared or preserved, such as guavas canned in sugar syrup or vinegar. Guava juice is also distinct, falling under HS code 2009.

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).
