HS-4 · Heading

0801 — Nuts, edible; coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashew nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled

Chapter 08: Edible fruit and nuts

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 0801 when importing or exporting edible nuts like coconuts, Brazil nuts, or cashew nuts, whether they're fresh or dried. For example, if you're shipping dried Brazil nuts shelled, this heading applies directly to your product classification.

Choosing the correct HS-6 line under 0801 is crucial. For instance, if your shipment consists of desiccated coconuts, you should classify it under 080111. However, if you have fresh coconuts still in their inner shell, you would use 080112 instead.

The distinction between 080119 and 080111 is also important. If your product is fresh or dried coconuts that are not desiccated or in the inner shell, opt for 080119. This includes whole coconuts or dried coconut pieces that don't fit the other specific categories.
