HS code for Strawberries: 0810.10
Fruit, edible, strawberries, fresh.
Classification of strawberries under HS 0810.10
Fresh strawberries are classified under HS code 0810.10, which resides within Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System, covering edible fruit and nuts. This specific subheading is reserved for fresh strawberries. The classification logic is based on the state of the fruit (fresh) and the botanical identity. To qualify for this code, the strawberries must not be cooked, frozen, or preserved in sugar or other sweeteners. They are typically transported in refrigerated containers to maintain freshness, but as long as they have not undergone processing that changes their character from "fresh," they remain in 0810.10. This includes various varieties of the genus Fragaria. The classification is straightforward but strict regarding the physical state; once the fruit is frozen or boiled, it moves to a different chapter or heading. Customs authorities use this code to monitor agricultural imports and apply relevant phytosanitary regulations and seasonal tariffs.

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).
