Fruit, edible, melons, other than watermelons, fresh.
Classification of honeydew under HS 0807.19
Honeydew melons are classified under HS code 0807.19. This classification is part of Chapter 8, which encompasses edible fruit and nuts, as well as the peel of citrus fruit or melons. Heading 0807 specifically covers melons (including watermelons) and papaws (papayas), fresh. Within this heading, the system differentiates between watermelons (0807.11) and \"other\" melons (0807.19). Since honeydew is a variety of Cucumis melo, it falls into the \"other\" category. The classification requires the fruit to be fresh; if the honeydew were frozen, dried, or provisionally preserved, it would move to different headings within Chapter 8, such as 0811, 0813, or 0812 respectively. Proper classification ensures that agricultural standards and phytosanitary regulations are correctly applied during international transit. The classification is determined by GRI 1 and GRI 6, focusing on the fresh state and the specific botanical family of the fruit.

Codes often confused with 0807.19
Common mistake. The most common misclassification is 0807.11, which is strictly for watermelons (Citrullus lanatus). While both are melons, the HS system separates them at the 6-digit level. Another error involves dried honeydew, which must be classified under 0813.40, as heading 0807 is exclusively for fresh fruit.

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).
