HS-4 · Heading
0804 — Dates, figs, pineapples, avocados, guavas, mangoes and mangosteens; fresh or dried
Chapter 08: Edible fruit and nuts
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 0804 when importing or exporting fresh or dried fruits like dates, figs, or avocados. For example, if you're shipping dried dates from Tunisia, this heading applies directly to your goods.
Choosing the right HS-6 code under 0804 is crucial. If your shipment consists of fresh dates, go with 080410. However, if you're dealing with fresh figs, you'll need 080420 instead. Each subheading specifies the type of fruit, so be precise.
When determining between 080440 for avocados and 080450 for guavas, mangoes, and mangosteens, consider the primary fruit in your shipment. If your cargo includes primarily avocados, select 080440. If it’s a mix of guavas and mangoes, then 080450 is the right choice.
