HTS heading 0801 is a 4-digit product category for coconuts, Brazil nuts, and cashew nuts. It covers these nuts whether they are fresh or dried and whether the shell or outer peel is still present or has been removed. The heading groups related products together; it is not, by itself, the complete classification used for entry filing.
To reach the correct 8-digit HTSUS code, narrow the product by the distinctions shown in the subheadings and tariff schedule. Start with the nut type, then check whether it is shelled or unshelled and whether the schedule distinguishes fresh from dried or other physical forms. The final digits may provide a more specific statistical classification, so confirm the current wording rather than choosing a code based only on a general product name.
What to check
- Identify the nut precisely: coconut, Brazil nut, or cashew nut.
- Confirm whether the item is fresh or dried, using the product’s condition at importation.
- Verify whether the shell, husk, or peel remains, and match the tariff schedule’s terminology.
- Read all subheading descriptions under heading 0801, including any “other” provisions and statistical suffixes.
- Keep product specifications, photographs, packaging details, and processing information available; ask a customs broker or seek a formal classification ruling if the distinctions are unclear.
HTS heading 0801 summary
Coconuts is a 4-digit product category containing 7 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.
