HS code for Nectarines: 0809.30
Fruit, edible, peaches, including nectarines, fresh.
Classification of nectarines under HS 0809.30
Nectarines are classified under HS code 080930. This classification is found in Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System, which covers edible fruit and nuts, as well as the peel of citrus fruit or melons. Heading 0809 is specifically designated for stone fruits, including apricots, cherries, peaches (including nectarines), plums, and sloes. Botanically, nectarines are a cultivar of the peach (Prunus persica), distinguished primarily by their smooth, fuzz-less skin. Due to this close biological relationship, the Harmonized System groups nectarines and peaches together under the same six-digit subheading. To fall under 080930, the fruit must be fresh. This means the nectarines can be chilled but not frozen, dried, or provisionally preserved. The classification ensures that fresh stone fruits are tracked consistently across international borders for both agricultural statistics and the application of seasonal tariffs.

Codes often confused with 0809.30
Common mistake. Nectarines are often misclassified under HS code 081190 if they are imported in a frozen state, as Chapter 8 distinguishes between fresh and frozen produce. Another common error is using HS code 081340 for dried nectarines. Furthermore, if the nectarines are sliced and preserved in syrup, they must be classified under HS code 200870 (prepared or preserved peaches), as they are no longer considered "fresh" fruit under Chapter 8.

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).
