HS code for Oranges: 0805.10
Fruit, edible, oranges, fresh or dried.
Classification of oranges under HS 0805.10
Fresh or dried oranges are classified under HS code 0805.10. Chapter 08 of the Harmonized System covers edible fruit and nuts, as well as the peel of citrus fruit or melons. Heading 0805 is specifically for citrus fruit, fresh or dried. Subheading 0805.10 is the primary code for all varieties of oranges. This includes sweet oranges (such as Navel and Valencia) and bitter oranges (such as Seville oranges). The classification remains the same whether the fruit is intended for direct consumption, industrial processing, or has been dried for preservation. It does not include oranges that have been prepared or preserved by other means, such as cooking or freezing, which would move the product to Chapter 20. The classification is straightforward based on the botanical nature of the fruit and its state (fresh or dried), following the General Rules of Interpretation which prioritize specific product descriptions over general ones.

Codes often confused with 0805.10
Common mistake. Oranges are often misclassified with other citrus fruits under 0805.21 (Mandarins, Tangerines, and Satsumas) or 0805.22 (Clementines). While they look similar, the HS code distinguishes between these varieties. Another common error is using 0811.90 for frozen oranges or 0812.90 for oranges provisionally preserved in sulfur dioxide gas or brine. If the oranges are sliced and preserved in syrup, they must be classified under 2008.30.

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).
