0801.11.00.00 - Desiccated

This HTS category, 0801.11.00.00, specifically covers desiccated coconuts. Desiccated coconut refers to the flesh of the coconut that has been dried and processed into fine shreds or flakes. This form of coconut is typically used as an ingredient in confectionery, baking, and other food products, offering a concentrated coconut flavor and texture.

It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. While all fall under the broader classification of "Coconuts: fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled," 0801.11.00.00 is distinct from coconuts that are still in their inner shell (endocarp), classified under 0801.12.00.00, or other forms of dried, unshelled, or partially processed coconuts not fitting the desiccated description, which would fall under 0801.19.01. The key differentiating factor here is the complete drying and shredding/flaking process.

As a leaf node, this category has no further subcategories. Classification within 0801.11.00.00 is based on the product being coconut flesh that has undergone a drying process to reduce moisture content, resulting in a desiccated state, regardless of whether it is presented as fine shreds, flakes, or granules.
