Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 080122 when importing or exporting shelled Brazil nuts, whether fresh or dried. For example, a shipment of packaged, shelled Brazil nuts intended for snack foods would fall under this code.
This classification specifically targets Brazil nuts that have been shelled, distinguishing them from HS-6 080121, which covers unshelled Brazil nuts. If your product is still in its shell, you need to use the other code.
Brazil nuts are often used in baking, cooking, or as a healthy snack. If you’re dealing with products like mixed nut packages that include Brazil nuts but are not solely composed of them, you may need to consider a different HS code.
When preparing documentation for customs, ensure that your product description clearly states 'shelled Brazil nuts' to avoid misclassification. This will help streamline the import process.
