Overview
This HTS category, 0801.31.00.00, specifically covers cashew nuts that are presented in their natural shell. This includes cashew nuts that have been harvested and are still enclosed within their hard, leathery outer casing. The classification focuses on the physical state of the nut as being unshelled.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 0801.32.00.00, which covers shelled cashew nuts. The key differentiator lies in the presence or absence of the shell. While both classifications pertain to cashew nuts, the method of presentation – in shell versus shelled – dictates the specific HTS code assigned.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions within this particular classification. The scope is limited to cashew nuts in their unshelled state, and importers or exporters should ensure their product accurately matches this description to comply with customs regulations.
