HS HEADING 0801

Nuts, edible; coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashew nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled

In plain English

This section covers edible nuts, including coconuts, Brazil nuts, and cashow nuts, whether they are fresh or dried and regardless of whether they have been shelled or peeled. The specific types are separated based on their form and preparation. Coconuts are distinguished as desiccated, kept in their inner shell, or in other fresh or dried states. Brazil nuts and cashew nuts are categorized by whether they are still in their shells or have been shelled.

Chapter 08 classification notes

Phytosanitary certificates required in most jurisdictions. Shelf-life and fumigation requirements apply to some species (e.g., methyl bromide fumigation for some US stone-fruit imports).

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Sugared / crystallised fruit belongs in Chapter 20 (2006). Frozen fruit with added sugar also moves to 20. Nut butters / pastes: Chapter 20 (peanut butter 2008.11) rather than 0802.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
