HS code for Kiwi: 0810.50

Fruit, edible, kiwifruit, fresh.

Classification of kiwi under HS 0810.50

Kiwifruit is classified under HS code 0810.50 because it falls within Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System, which is dedicated to edible fruit and nuts, as well as the peel of citrus fruit or melons. Specifically, heading 0810 covers "Other fruit, fresh," a category designed for various fresh fruits that are not explicitly named in the more specific headings of 0801 through 0809 (such as citrus, grapes, or apples). Within this heading, the international community has established subheading 0810.50 to specifically identify kiwifruit, botanically known as Actinidia chinensis or Actinidia deliciosa. This classification is strictly for fresh fruit. The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6 dictate that classification is determined by the terms of the headings and subheadings. Since kiwifruit is a fresh edible fruit not covered by earlier headings, 0810.50 is the legally required code for international trade, ensuring uniform tariff application across borders.

Codes often confused with 0810.50

Common mistake. Kiwifruit is frequently misclassified under 0811.90, which covers fruit that has been frozen. It may also be confused with 0812.90 if it is provisionally preserved (for example, by sulfur dioxide gas) but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption. Additionally, dried kiwifruit must be classified under 0813.40, as Chapter 08 distinguishes strictly between fresh, frozen, and dried states.

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).
