HS-4 · Heading
0813 — Fruit, dried, other than that of heading no. 0801 to 0806; mixtures of nuts or dried fruits of this chapter
Chapter 08: Edible fruit and nuts
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 0813 when importing or exporting dried fruits like apricots, prunes, or apples, as well as mixtures of nuts and dried fruits. For example, if you’re shipping a bulk order of dried apricots, this heading is your starting point for classification.
When deciding between subheadings, consider the specific type of dried fruit. For instance, if your shipment consists of dried apples, you would classify it under 081330. However, if your product includes a mix of different dried fruits not specifically mentioned, you might use 081340.
If your shipment includes a blend of various nuts or a combination of nuts and dried fruits, you should refer to 081350. This subheading is specifically for mixtures, while individual dried fruits like prunes or apricots fall under their respective codes.
Be mindful that products classified under this heading must be dried and not otherwise specified in headings 0801 to 0806. This means fresh fruits or those preserved in syrup do not qualify under HS-4 0813.
