HS Code 2105Ice cream and other edible ice; whether or not containing cocoa
1 six-digit code · Heading 5 of 6 in Chapter 21 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 2105 is the customs heading for ice cream and edible ice, and HSN code 2105 means the same thing. This page shows what fits here, what does not, and where to find the companies that trade it.
Heading 2105does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Ice cream and other edible ice; whether or not containing cocoa” classify at the single six-digit code 210500. The heading is number 5 of 6 in Chapter 21, Miscellaneous edible preparations, which runs to 16 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 2105 covers
The Harmonized System puts ice cream in heading 2105, together with other edible ice. The heading says it makes no difference if the product has cocoa in it. So chocolate ice cream and plain ice cream are sorted in the same place.
Shops and menus often say frozen desserts. That is a sales term, not a customs term. At the border, only the words of the heading count. The World Customs Organization writes those words, and countries build their tariff classification on them.
The heading covers only the goods it names. If your product is not named, it may belong in another heading, so read the wording first.
HS code 210500 and the ice cream tariff classification
Write 210500 on shipping papers and customs forms when you declare ice cream. Importers, exporters and customs brokers all use it.
Many countries add extra digits for their own tariffs, so a national code can be longer than the world code. The first six digits stay the same. If you are unsure that your product fits, run it through the HS code classifier before you file.
How to classify ice cream: 2105 vs other Chapter 21 headings
Begin with the name of the product. If it is ice cream or another edible ice, use 2105. Do not pick a wider heading when a narrower one names your goods.
The most common mistake is to use 2106. Ice cream has its own heading, so it stays out of the catch-all.
The other headings in this chapter cover very different goods:
- HS 2101: extracts and concentrates of coffee, tea or mate, plus roasted chicory
- HS 2102: yeasts, other dead single-cell micro-organisms, and prepared baking powders
- HS 2103: sauces, mixed condiments and seasonings, mustard flour and prepared mustard
- HS 2104: soups and broths, and homogenised composite food preparations
- HS 2106: food preparations not elsewhere specified or included
