HS Code 0811Fruit and nuts; uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling in water, frozen, whether or not containing added sugar or other sweetening matter

What products are classified under HS code 0811

Think of this heading as the freezer aisle for fruit. If a fruit or nut is frozen, and has not been dried or kept in brine, it usually belongs here. Some people search for it as HSN code 0811. It points to the same goods.

The customs description allows two states. In both cases it must be frozen. Sugar or another sweetening matter may be added, but it does not have to be.

Most other headings there deal with fresh or dried goods. So the state of the product is the first thing to check.

HS code 081110, 081120 and 081190 for frozen fruit

Below the heading, the six-digit subheadings split the goods by type of fruit. A shipment should match one of them. Many countries add more digits for their own tariff lines, but the first six digits stay the same.

081110 is the code for frozen strawberries. If your cargo is strawberries, this is the one to use.

It also covers mulberries, loganberries, black, white or red currants and gooseberries. These are all small soft berries.

081190 is the catch-all code. It holds anything in this heading that the first two codes do not name. The short form n.e.c. means not elsewhere classified. Rule out 081110 and 081120 before you use it.

How to choose the right code for frozen fruit

Start with the state of the fruit. This is the fastest way to find the right heading. Then look at the type of fruit to pick the six-digit code.

Fresh fruit that is not named in another heading goes to HS 0810. Frozen fruit goes to 0811. Fruit that is only kept for a short time in a preserving liquid, and is not fit to eat in that state, goes to HS 0812. Dried fruit and mixed nuts go to HS 0813. Peel of citrus fruit or melons goes to HS 0814.

Once you are in 0811, ask one more question. Are the goods strawberries? Use 081110. Are they one of the berries or currants listed under 081120? Use 081120. Is it anything else that is frozen? Use 081190. If you are still unsure, the HS code classifier can help you check the match.
