HS Code for Dried fruit and nut mix
Dried fruit and nut mixtures are classified under HS code 0813.50. This classification is found in Chapter 8, which covers edible fruit and nuts. Heading 0813 generally covers dried fruits (other than those of headings 0801 to 0806) and mixtures of nuts or dried fruits of this chapter. Subheading 0813.50 is the specific designation for these mixtures. For a product to be classified here, all components of the mixture must be fruits or nuts that are individually classifiable within Chapter 8. This includes items like dried apricots, prunes, raisins, almonds, and walnuts. The mixture must not contain ingredients from other chapters, such as chocolate (Chapter 18), cereal (Chapter 19), or added sugar beyond what is naturally occurring or used for basic preservation. This code is used for standard trail mixes and fruit medleys. If the mixture is primarily composed of nuts that have been roasted or salted, it might instead fall under heading 2008, making the distinction between "dried" and "roasted" critical for correct classification.

Common Misclassification
A common misclassification is HS code 2008.97, which covers mixtures of fruits and nuts that have been prepared or preserved in ways not specified in Chapter 8, such as roasting or adding significant sugar or syrup. Another error involves HS code 1904.10, which is for cereal-based mixtures like granola that may contain dried fruit. If the mixture contains any amount of chocolate or cocoa-covered items, it must be classified under Chapter 18 (typically 1806.90). Importers must ensure the nuts are not roasted to stay within 0813.50.
