Product classification
HS code for Nut mixes: 2008.19
Nuts and other seeds, whether or not containing added sugar, other sweetening matter or spirit (excluding ground-nuts except in mixtures).
Classification of nut mixes under HS 2008.19
Nut mixes are classified under HS code 2008.19, which covers nuts and other seeds that are prepared or preserved. Chapter 20 of the Harmonized System deals with preparations of vegetables, fruit, or nuts. While raw, unprocessed nuts are classified in Chapter 8, any significant preparation such as roasting, salting, or mixing different varieties of nuts moves the product into Chapter 20. Subheading 2008.19 is a specific category for mixtures of nuts and seeds, as well as individual nuts not specified in other subheadings (like ground-nuts in 2008.11). The classification is determined by the fact that the product is a "preparation." Even if the nuts are only lightly salted or dry-roasted, they are no longer considered raw agricultural products. For mixtures containing both nuts and dried fruits, the classification is usually determined by the component that gives the mixture its essential character, often the one with the highest weight. If nuts predominate, 2008.19 is the correct code. This classification is critical for applying the correct tariffs on snack foods and trail mixes.

Codes often confused with 2008.19
Common mistake. Nut mixes are frequently misclassified under 0813, which covers mixtures of dried fruits and nuts. However, 0813 is only for raw or dried mixtures; if any component is roasted or salted, it must move to 2008.19. Another error is using 1704 for sugar-coated nuts, which are considered confectionery if the sugar coating is the primary characteristic.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
