HS Code 0801Nuts, edible; coconuts, brazil nuts and cashew nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled

What HS code 0801 covers

Heading 0801 groups three tropical nuts: coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashew nuts. They can be fresh or dried. They can be whole in the shell or already shelled or peeled.

You may also see it called HSN code 0801 or HTS code 0801. The name changes with the country, but the heading describes the same goods.

The common product forms in this heading are:

• Desiccated coconut
• Coconut in the inner shell (endocarp)
• Other fresh or dried coconut
• Brazil nuts, in shell or shelled
• Cashew nuts, in shell or shelled

Shelled or in shell: which 0801 code to pick

The six-digit code depends on the nut and on its form. Start with the nut, then check the shell.

For coconuts, three codes split the goods by form. Use 080111 for desiccated coconut. Use 080112 when the coconut is in the inner shell, also called the endocarp. Use 080119 for fresh or dried coconut that fits neither of those.

Brazil nuts and cashew nuts are simpler. Each has one code for nuts in the shell and one for shelled nuts.

If you are not sure about a product, the HS code classifier can help you check it.

0801 vs other nut and fruit headings

Other nuts go to heading 0802, which covers nuts that are not coconuts, Brazil nuts or cashew nuts.

Process matters too. Fruit and nuts that are frozen, with or without cooking in water, belong in 0811. Fruit and nuts kept only for a short time in a preserving liquid, and not fit to eat in that state, belong in 0812. Heading 0813 covers dried fruit from other headings, plus mixtures of nuts or dried fruit.

A good rule is to check the form of the goods first. Raw or dried whole nuts point to 0801 or 0802. Frozen, preserved or mixed goods point to the later headings.
