HS-4 · Heading

0802Nuts (excluding coconuts, Brazils and cashew nuts); fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled

Chapter 08: Edible fruit and nuts

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 0802 when importing or exporting nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pistachios, whether they are fresh or dried, shelled or in the shell. For example, if you're shipping a container of shelled almonds, this heading is applicable.

To choose the correct HS-6 code, consider whether the nuts are shelled or in the shell. For instance, 080211 covers fresh or dried almonds in their shells, while 080212 is for shelled almonds. This distinction is crucial for accurate classification and duty assessment.

Another important distinction is between different types of nuts. If you have fresh or dried hazelnuts, you would use 080221 for those in the shell and 080222 for shelled hazelnuts. Understanding these differences helps in selecting the right code for your shipment.
