Fruit, edible, fruit and nuts n.e.c. in heading no. 0811, uncooked or cooked, frozen whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter.
Classification of mixed frozen fruit under HS 0811.90
Mixed frozen fruit is classified under HS code 081190 based on the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) 1 and 6. Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System covers edible fruit and nuts, as well as peel of citrus fruit or melons. Specifically, heading 0811 applies to fruit and nuts that are uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter. The classification within 081190 is determined because this subheading serves as a residual category for fruit and mixtures of fruit that are not specifically named in the preceding subheadings (such as strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries). For a product to fall under this code, the primary preservation method must be freezing. If the fruit has been further processed beyond simple freezing or cooking in water—such as being preserved in syrup or alcohol—it would move to Chapter 20. The inclusion of added sugar does not change the classification under 0811, provided the fruit remains in a frozen state. This code is essential for customs authorities to track the trade of frozen blends used in the smoothie, baking, and confectionery industries.

Codes often confused with 0811.90
Common mistake. Mixed frozen fruit is frequently misclassified under HS code 200897, which covers mixtures of fruit otherwise prepared or preserved. The distinction lies in the method of preservation; 200897 is for fruit that is canned, bottled, or preserved in syrup, whereas 081190 is strictly for frozen products. Another common error is using 081290, which is for fruit provisionally preserved (for example, by sulfur dioxide gas or in brine) but unsuitable in that state for immediate consumption. Importers must ensure the product is truly frozen and not merely chilled, as chilled fruit falls under different headings in Chapter 8, such as 0810.

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).
