HS-4 · Heading
0806 — Grapes; fresh or dried
Chapter 08: Edible fruit and nuts
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 0806 when importing grapes, whether fresh or dried. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of fresh table grapes from Chile, this is the code you need to declare at customs.
When deciding between 080610 for fresh grapes and 080620 for dried grapes, consider the product's state upon arrival. Fresh grapes should be classified under 080610, while raisins or other dried grape products fall under 080620.
If you're importing a mixed shipment that includes both fresh and dried grapes, you’ll need to separate them into different declarations based on their respective HS-6 codes. Each type must be accurately classified to avoid customs delays.
Be aware that the country of origin and packaging can also influence your classification. For instance, fresh grapes packed in bulk may have different import requirements compared to those packaged in consumer-ready clamshells.
