HS-6 081350: Nuts, edible; mixtures of nuts or dried fruits of chapter 08

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 081350 when importing or exporting mixtures of edible nuts and dried fruits, such as trail mixes or nut blends. For example, a shipment of a snack mix containing almonds, cashews, and dried cranberries falls under this code.

This code specifically covers mixtures that include nuts and dried fruits, differentiating it from other dried fruits classified under headings like 0801 to 0806. For instance, if you have a product that is solely dried apricots, it would not qualify for this code.

When classifying products, note that 081350 is distinct from 081340, which covers only mixtures of nuts without dried fruits. If your product contains both, 081350 is the correct choice.

Understanding the specific contents of your mixture is crucial. If a product contains a blend of walnuts, pecans, and dried figs, it should be classified under 081350 as it includes both edible nuts and dried fruits.
