0813.50.00.40 - Containing only nuts 🖩

This HTS category, 0813.50.00.40, specifically classifies mixtures that consist solely of nuts. This means that for a product to fall under this heading, every component must be a nut, as defined within Chapter 8 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The term "nuts" in this context typically refers to edible tree nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, cashews, and pistachios, as well as certain seeds that are commonly referred to as nuts in commerce.

This classification is distinct from its sibling categories. Specifically, 0813.50.00.20 covers mixtures that contain only dried fruits. Therefore, the presence of any fruit, even in small quantities, would exclude a mixture from this "containing only nuts" category and place it under the "containing only fruit" or the "other" category if it contains both nuts and fruits.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. The classification decision rests entirely on whether the mixture is composed exclusively of nuts. For practical classification, it is crucial to verify the exact composition of the product, ensuring that all identifiable components meet the definition of "nuts" as per Chapter 8.
