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 classification, HTS Code 0802.70.20.00, specifically covers kola nuts (Cola spp.) that have been shelled. This means the outer hard shell has been removed, presenting the edible portion of the nut. The nuts may be fresh or dried at this stage.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 0802.70.10.00, which pertains to kola nuts that remain "in shell." The primary differentiating factor is the presence or absence of the protective outer shell, which affects presentation, storage, and further processing.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 0802.70.20.00. Therefore, classification decisions within this code will focus on confirming that the product is indeed kola nuts and that they have been shelled, distinguishing them from other nut classifications within Chapter 8 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.
