HS Codes for Dried Fruits and Nuts: A Practical Guide

5 min readGoldland Food Editorial Team

The right HS code directly determines customs duty, preferential tariffs and official controls. Here are the most frequently used codes for dried fruits and nuts, with the fine points.

Key takeaways

  • The first 6 digits of the HS code are common worldwide.
  • Countries add national subdivisions up to 8–12 digits.
  • In-shell and shelled nuts have different codes.
  • Mixed dried fruit has its own heading.

Points to watch

  • Roasted or salted nuts may fall under heading 2008 depending on processing.
  • Fruit processed with sugar or syrup (infused) may be classified elsewhere.
  • National subdivisions (8–12 digits) differ by country.
  • Misclassification means penalties, delays and loss of preferential tariffs.

Use the same HS code on the commercial invoice and the customs declaration; apply for Binding Tariff Information (BTI) before shipment if needed.
