HS Code 0814Peel of citrus fruit or melons (including watermelons); fresh, frozen dried or provisionally preserved in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solutions
1 six-digit code · Heading 14 of 14 in Chapter 08 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 0814 is where customs places citrus and melon peel, from orange peel to watermelon rind. Traders use it to find out who buys and sells these goods across borders.
Heading 0814does not subdivide further in the WCO nomenclature: goods answering to “Peel of citrus fruit or melons (including watermelons); fresh, frozen dried or provisionally preserved in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solutions” classify at the single six-digit code 081400. The heading is number 14 of 14 in Chapter 08, Fruit and nuts, edible; peel of citrus fruit or melons, which runs to 70 six-digit codes in all.

What HS code 0814 covers
This heading is about the peel only, not the whole fruit. The peel can come from oranges, lemons and other citrus, or from melons. Watermelons are named in the legal text, so their rind counts too.
The heading also lists the states the peel may be in. It can be fresh, frozen or dried. It can also be provisionally preserved, which means kept for a short time in brine, sulphur water or another preserving liquid, for example during transport or storage.
Traders often search for this heading as citrus peel or melon peel. Both names lead to the same place in the Harmonized System.
Dried orange peel and watermelon rind: which code?
Dried orange peel goes under heading 0814, because the text covers dried peel of citrus fruit. Watermelon rind goes there too. Frozen citrus peel and peel stored in brine are covered as well.
The state of the peel does not change the heading. What matters is that the goods are peel.
Different people use different words for the same goods. A buyer who asks for dried citrus peel and a seller who lists orange rind, dried, are talking about one product in customs terms.
How 0814 differs from related headings
Many fruit goods look alike on paper. Ask one question first: is it the whole fruit, or only the peel?
Whole citrus, fresh or dried, goes to heading 0805. Fruit or nuts held in a temporary preservative and unfit to eat in that state belong to heading 0812.
Anything sold with its flesh moves to one of those headings. If you are unsure, test your product in the HS code classifier.
Checks to make before you classify peel
Start with the goods description on the invoice. It should say peel or rind, and it should name the fruit it came from.
Next, note the state of the goods. Are they fresh, frozen, dried or kept in liquid? If there is a liquid, write it down.
Last, check that no pulp or juice product is mixed in. A product made mostly of pulp or juice is not peel, and it will sit in a different part of the tariff.
- Name of the fruit the peel came from
- State of the goods when shipped
- Any preserving liquid used
