HS code for Tangelos: 0805.29
Fruit, edible, tangelos, wilkings and similar citrus hybrid, fresh or dried.
Classification of tangelos under HS 0805.29
Tangelos are classified under HS code 0805.29. Heading 0805 covers citrus fruit, fresh or dried. Subheading 0805.20 includes mandarins (including tangerines and satsumas), clementines, wilkings, and similar citrus hybrids. Tangelos, being a hybrid of a tangerine and either a grapefruit or a pummelo (such as the Minneola or Orlando varieties), fall into the "similar citrus hybrids" category. Specifically, 0805.29 is the residual category for these hybrids that are not specifically named as mandarins, clementines, or wilkings. The classification depends on the botanical characteristics of the fruit. Even though tangelos may resemble oranges or tangerines in appearance, their genetic lineage as a hybrid necessitates their placement under 0805.29. This ensures that trade statistics and tariff applications are accurately applied to specific citrus varieties rather than being grouped with common oranges.

Codes often confused with 0805.29
Common mistake. Tangelos are frequently misclassified under 0805.10 (oranges) due to their size and color. However, oranges belong to the species Citrus sinensis, whereas tangelos are hybrids. They are also often confused with 0805.21 (mandarins) or 0805.22 (clementines). Because the HS nomenclature provides a specific sub-category for "similar hybrids" in 0805.29, using the more general mandarin or orange codes is technically incorrect for customs purposes.

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).
