HS code for Mangosteens: 0804.50
Fruit, edible, guavas, mangoes and mangosteens, fresh or dried.
Classification of mangosteens under HS 0804.50
Mangosteens share the HS code 0804.50 with mangoes and guavas. This classification is found within Chapter 8, which deals with edible fruits. The inclusion of mangosteens in this specific subheading is due to their botanical classification and the standard international trade practice of grouping these tropical fruits together. The code covers the fruit in its fresh state, as well as dried versions, provided no further processing like sweetening or cooking has occurred. Classification is straightforward under General Interpretative Rule 1, as the heading text explicitly names mangosteens. Importers must ensure the fruit has not been frozen (0811) or provisionally preserved in brine or sulfur water (0812) to remain within 0804.50. Because mangosteens are highly perishable and often subject to strict biosecurity measures due to pests like fruit flies, the 0804.50 code is often flagged for mandatory agricultural inspection. The weight and value for customs are usually calculated based on the whole fruit, including the thick purple rind, unless the fruit has been peeled and dried.

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).
