What HS code 1802 covers
These are the shells, husks and skins, plus other cocoa waste. They are not the bean itself, and they are not a finished food. Customs treat them as their own group inside Chapter 18, Cocoa and cocoa preparations, which sits in Section IV.
If your product is shell or husk material, or other cocoa waste, this is the right page. If you ship beans, paste, butter or chocolate, one of the nearby headings fits better.
HS 180200 and national tariff lines
The world-wide system stops at six digits. Every shipment under this heading starts with these six digits, whichever country files it.
Many countries add more digits for their own use. That is why you may see a longer HSN code on Indian paperwork or an HTS code on United States paperwork. The extra digits, and the duty rates tied to them, change from country to country. We do not list rates here.
For customs classification of your own goods, try the HS code classifier. Then confirm the national line and the rate with the customs office of the country you trade with.
1802 vs other cocoa headings
The main split between 1801 and 1802 is the form of the goods. The shells, husks and skins taken from them go to 1802.
The other headings in the chapter cover goods that have been processed further:
- 1801: cocoa beans, whole or broken, raw or roasted
- 1803: cocoa paste, whether or not defatted
- 1804: cocoa butter, fat and oil
- 1805: cocoa powder with no added sugar or other sweetener
- 1806: chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa
Who imports cocoa shells under HS code 1802?
A code list cannot tell you which companies buy or sell cocoa waste. Customs records can. Each shipment filed under 180200 has a buyer side and a supplier side, and those are the names you want.
To find buyers of cocoa waste, look at the importer side of the shipment records. To find suppliers, look at the exporter side. The import data and export data pages explain each view, and the buyer data and supplier data pages go further.
