HS code for Pineapples: 0804.30
Fruit, edible, pineapples, fresh or dried.
Classification of pineapples under HS 0804.30
Fresh or dried pineapples are classified under HS code 0804.30. This classification is governed by Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System, which covers edible fruit and nuts. Heading 0804 specifically includes dates, figs, pineapples, avocados, guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens, fresh or dried. Subheading 0804.30 is the specific designation for pineapples (Ananas comosus). This code applies to the whole fruit, as well as sliced or diced versions, provided they are either fresh, chilled, or dried without the addition of sugar or other substances. The classification is based on the state of the fruit; it must not be cooked or preserved in a way that changes its basic character. This code is used globally for the trade of raw agricultural pineapple products, ensuring consistent tariff application across borders for both fresh produce and simple dried snacks.

Codes often confused with 0804.30
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 2008.20, which covers pineapples that have been prepared or preserved. This includes pineapples in cans with syrup, or dried pineapples that have been infused with sugar (candied). If the fruit has been cooked, it must move to Chapter 20. Another error involves HS code 0602.90, which is for live plants; this is sometimes used incorrectly for pineapples intended for planting rather than consumption. Furthermore, if the pineapple is provided in a mixture with other dried fruits, it may fall under 0813.50. Distinguishing between a simple dried fruit (Chapter 8) and a sugar-preserved fruit (Chapter 20) is the most frequent challenge for customs compliance.

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).
