HS Code 0806Grapes; fresh or dried

HS code 0806 at a glance: grapes, fresh or dried

Customs offices around the world use the Harmonized System to give every traded product a number. Heading 0806 is the number for grapes. Some traders call it the HSN code 0806, but it is the same heading.

The customs description is short: grapes, fresh or dried. That wording tells you what belongs here. A box of table grapes picked for eating fresh belongs here. A bag of raisins belongs here too.

Other fruit, such as apples, citrus or melons, has its own heading nearby. If the fruit is a grape, you can stop looking at those and work inside 0806.

Fresh or dried: how to choose 080610 or 080620

The tariff classification of grapes comes down to one question. What state are the goods in when they cross the border? The difference between 080610 and 080620 is only that state.

Use the plain test below. Look at the invoice, the packing list and the product itself.

• 080610 is for grapes, fresh. Think of table grapes sold in bunches or punnets.
• 080620 is for grapes, dried. Think of raisins and other dried grapes.
• If the grapes are still soft, juicy and sold as fresh fruit, choose 080610.
• If the grapes have been dried until they are shrunken and chewy, choose 080620.

Grapes vs other fruit headings in Chapter 08

Not every grape product stays in 0806. Once the grapes are processed further, the answer can change.

Frozen grapes are handled under heading 0811, which covers fruit and nuts that are frozen. Dried fruit that is not grapes goes to heading 0813, which covers dried fruit other than that of headings 0801 to 0806.

Heading 0810 is for other fresh fruit not named elsewhere in the chapter. Grapes already have their own heading, so they do not go there. If you sell citrus or melons as well, check headings 0805 and 0807 for those goods.

Tips for using the grapes HS code correctly

A wrong code can slow a shipment or make your records hard to match with the records of other traders. A few habits help.

Write the product the way customs describes it. Put fresh grapes and dried grapes on separate lines, each with its own six-digit code. Do not mix them on one line just because the heading is the same.

If you are unsure, run the product through the HS code classifier. It can help you test your choice before you file.
