Food preparations, crispbread, whether or not containing cocoa.
Classification of rye crispbread under HS 1905.10
Rye crispbread is classified under HS code 1905.10. This heading covers "Crispbread," which is a dry, brittle bread usually made from rye flour, often produced in thin, flat pieces. The classification is determined by the physical characteristics of the product—specifically its low moisture content and texture—and its intended use as a shelf-stable bread substitute. While 1905 covers a wide range of baked goods, the specific subheading 1905.10 takes precedence for products meeting the definition of crispbread, regardless of whether they contain cocoa or other minor ingredients. The manufacturing process, which typically involves high-heat baking to achieve a cracker-like consistency, distinguishes it from standard leavened breads found in 1905.90.

Codes often confused with 1905.10
Common mistake. Rye crispbread is frequently misclassified under 1905.90, which is the general category for bread, cakes, and biscuits. It is also sometimes confused with 1905.40, which covers rusks and toasted bread. The distinction lies in the fact that rusks are typically sliced from a loaf and then toasted, whereas crispbread is baked directly into its final thin, brittle form. Additionally, savory crackers may sometimes be incorrectly placed in 1905.90 instead of the more specific 1905.10 if they meet the crispbread definition.

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).
