About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification covers Brazil nuts that are presented in their natural shell. These are whole Brazil nuts, harvested and dried, with the outer protective shell intact. The nuts are intended for consumption or further processing and are distinguished by the presence of their unremoved shell.

It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, HTS 0801.22.00.00, which specifically classifies Brazil nuts that have been shelled, meaning the outer shell has been removed. Therefore, the key distinguishing factor is whether the natural protective shell remains attached to the Brazil nut.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Classification is solely determined by the presentation of the Brazil nut in its shell, fresh or dried. Examples would include raw Brazil nuts in their leathery outer casing, ready for export or import.
