Nuts, edible, mixtures of nuts or dried fruits of chapter 08.
Classification of trail mix under HS 0813.50
Trail mix is classified under HS code 0813.50, which covers mixtures of nuts or dried fruits of Chapter 08. This classification is applied when the product consists primarily of edible fruits and nuts that have been dried but not further prepared or preserved beyond the methods allowed in Chapter 08. According to the General Interpretative Rules, specifically GRI 1 and the Note 3 to Chapter 08, mixtures of products of headings 08.01 to 08.06 and 08.07 to 08.10 are to be classified in heading 08.13. The essential character of the product is a blend of dried plant-based snacks. If the trail mix contains only dried fruits and raw or dried nuts, it remains within this category. However, the addition of other ingredients like chocolate, sugar-coated items, or roasted grains can shift the classification to other chapters, such as Chapter 18 or Chapter 19.

Codes often confused with 0813.50
Common mistake. Trail mix is often misclassified under HS code 2008.19, which covers nuts and seeds that have been prepared or preserved by roasting, salting, or adding oil. If the nuts in the trail mix are roasted, the entire mixture may move to Chapter 20. Furthermore, if the mix contains chocolate chips or candy-coated pieces, it is classified under HS code 1806.90 as a food preparation containing cocoa. It is also sometimes confused with 1904.10 if it contains significant amounts of puffed rice or toasted cereal flakes.

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).
