What HS 0801.11 covers
This HS code specifically covers desiccated coconuts, a highly processed form of coconut meat that has been shredded or flaked and dried to a very low moisture content. Desiccated coconut is a staple ingredient in the confectionery, baking, and food processing industries worldwide, valued for its texture, flavor, and extended shelf life. Major importers include food manufacturers in North America, Europe, and other developed economies, while exporters are predominantly tropical countries with significant coconut cultivation, such as the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. Key aspects of trade involve quality control for moisture content, fat percentage, and microbial safety, as well as packaging to prevent rehydration and spoilage. The global demand for desiccated coconut remains robust, driven by its versatility in various food products.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
