HS code for Turnips: 0706.10
Vegetables, root, carrots and turnips, fresh or chilled.
Classification of turnips under HS 0706.10
Turnips are classified under HS code 0706.10. This code is situated within Chapter 7, which covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Heading 0706 specifically addresses edible roots such as carrots, turnips, salad beetroot, salsify, celeriac, radishes, and similar edible roots, provided they are in a fresh or chilled state. Subheading 0706.10 is a joint category for carrots and turnips. The classification is straightforward but strictly limited to the fresh or chilled condition of the vegetable. Once a turnip is processed—whether by freezing, drying, or preservation in brine—it must be moved to a different heading within Chapter 7 or Chapter 20. This classification is vital for agricultural trade statistics and for applying phytosanitary regulations that vary between fresh produce and processed food items. The grouping with carrots reflects their similar botanical nature as edible taproots.

Codes often confused with 0706.10
Common mistake. Turnips are often misclassified under HS code 0710.80 if they are frozen, or 0712.90 if they are dried. Another common mistake is using 0709.99 (other vegetables, fresh or chilled), but since turnips are explicitly mentioned in the text of heading 0706, that heading must be used according to GRI 1. Additionally, swedes (rutabagas), which look similar to turnips, are often confused but are actually classified under 1214.90 when used for animal fodder, though they may share 0706 if for human consumption.

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).
