Classification of nut flour under HS 1106.30
Nut flour is classified under HS code 1106.30, which specifically covers flour, meal, and powder of the products of Chapter 8. Chapter 11 of the Harmonized System is dedicated to the products of the milling industry, including malt, starches, and gluten. Heading 11.06 is reserved for flour and meal derived from dried leguminous vegetables, sago, or fruit and nuts. Since nuts are classified in Chapter 8, their milled derivatives fall under 1106.30. The classification depends on the degree of milling; the product must be ground finely enough to meet the technical definitions of flour or meal as outlined in the HS Explanatory Notes. This code applies to pure nut flours that have not been mixed with other ingredients like sugar or leavening agents, which would move the product into Chapter 19. Furthermore, the nuts must not have been defatted to the point of becoming a residue, which would shift the classification to Chapter 23. This code is essential for distinguishing between raw agricultural nuts and processed ingredients used in the baking and food manufacturing industries.

Codes often confused with 1106.30
Common mistake. Nut flour is often misclassified under 1208, which is reserved for flour and meal of oil seeds like soy or linseed. It is also confused with 2008.19 if the product is a nut paste or butter rather than a dry powder. Some importers mistakenly use 1101 or 1102, but those codes are strictly for cereal flours like wheat or corn.

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).
