Classification of radishes under HS 0706.90
Radishes are classified under HS code 0706.90, which covers edible root vegetables that are fresh or chilled and not specifically named in other subheadings. Chapter 7 of the Harmonized System deals with edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Heading 0706 specifically includes carrots, turnips, salad beetroot, salsify, celeriac, radishes, and similar edible roots. While carrots and turnips have their own specific subheadings (0706.10), radishes fall into the residual 'Other' category of 0706.90. To qualify for this classification, the radishes must be in their fresh or chilled state. This means they have not been cooked, frozen, or preserved in a way that changes their fundamental nature. The classification includes all varieties of radishes, such as the common red radish, the large white daikon radish, and the black Spanish radish. The presence of the green tops does not change the classification, although they are often removed for transport. It is important to note that if the radishes are processed—for example, sliced and dried—they would move to heading 0712. If they are pickled or preserved in vinegar, they would be classified under heading 2001.

Codes often confused with 0706.90
Common mistake. Radishes are sometimes misclassified under 0701.90 (potatoes) or 0703.10 (onions) by error. More commonly, they are confused with 0710.80 if they are imported in a frozen state. Dried radishes are another point of confusion, as they must be classified under 0712.90 rather than the fresh vegetable code of 0706.90.

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).
