Nuts, edible, coconuts, fresh or dried, other than desiccated or in the inner shell (endocarp).
Classification of dried coconuts under HS 0801.19
Dried coconuts that are not desiccated and have been removed from their inner shell are classified under HS code 0801.19. This classification falls under Chapter 8, which covers edible fruit and nuts. Heading 0801 includes coconuts, Brazil nuts, and cashew nuts. Within the coconut subheadings, 0801.11 is for desiccated coconut and 0801.12 is for coconuts in the inner shell (endocarp). Therefore, 0801.19 serves as the residual category for "other" coconuts, which includes dried coconut meat that is in whole kernels, halves, or large pieces, provided it has not been shredded or powdered (which would make it desiccated). This classification is determined by the physical form of the product and the extent of its processing. The coconut must be dried for preservation but maintain its structural integrity beyond the shredded state. This code is essential for the trade of dried coconut used in various food applications where larger pieces of the fruit are required, such as in snack mixes or specific culinary traditions.

Codes often confused with 0801.19
Common mistake. Common misclassifications include HS code 0801.11 for desiccated coconut and 0801.12 for coconuts in the shell. If the coconut still possesses its hard, woody inner shell, it must be classified under 0801.12. If it has been finely shredded or flaked, it must be classified under 0801.11. Additionally, importers must ensure the product is not copra (1203.00), which is dried coconut meat specifically for industrial oil extraction and usually of a lower, non-food grade.

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).
