HS code for Kiwifruit: 0810.50
Fruit, edible, kiwifruit, fresh.
Classification of kiwifruit under HS 0810.50
Kiwifruit is classified under HS code 0810.50. Chapter 08 of the Harmonized System is dedicated to edible fruit and nuts, as well as the peel of citrus fruit or melons. Heading 0810 covers "other fruit, fresh," which serves as a category for fruits that are not specifically named in earlier headings like 0803 (bananas), 0804 (dates, figs, pineapples), or 0808 (apples and pears). Kiwifruit, belonging to the genus Actinidia, is explicitly provided for in subheading 0810.50. This classification requires the fruit to be in a fresh state. Freshness implies that the fruit has not been cooked, frozen, or preserved in a way that changes its fundamental nature. Standard post-harvest treatments such as cleaning, grading, and cold storage for preservation during transport are permitted. If the kiwifruit is processed further, such as being dried or preserved in syrup, it would move to different headings within Chapter 08 or Chapter 20, respectively.

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).
