Classification of dried coconut under HS 0801.11
Dried coconut, specifically in its desiccated form, is classified under HS code 0801.11. This classification is found within Chapter 8 of the Harmonized System, which covers edible fruit and nuts. Heading 0801 is dedicated to coconuts, Brazil nuts, and cashew nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled. The subheading 0801.11 is specifically reserved for desiccated coconut. Desiccated coconut is defined as coconut meat that has been shredded or flaked and then dried to a very low moisture content, typically for use in baking and confectionery. The classification is based on the physical state of the coconut meat and the specific processing it has undergone. To qualify for this code, the coconut must be dried and shredded. If the coconut is dried but remains in whole kernels or large chunks, it would fall under a different subheading. This specific code allows for the precise tracking of a major global commodity used extensively in the food processing industry.

Codes often confused with 0801.11
Common mistake. Desiccated coconut is often confused with HS code 0801.19, which covers "other" dried coconuts that are not desiccated or in the inner shell. If the coconut is dried but not shredded or powdered, it belongs in 0801.19. Another common error is misclassifying it under HS code 1203.00 (Copra). Copra is dried coconut meat intended for industrial oil extraction and is usually not suitable for direct human consumption, whereas 0801.11 is for food-grade desiccated coconut.

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).
