What to know before exporting under heading 0801
Heading 0801 belongs to chapter 08, edible fruit and nuts. It groups three products: coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashew nuts. Each can be fresh or dried, and in shell or shelled. The 10 subheadings separate these products and these states, so the six-digit code you declare is not the same for a coconut as for a shelled cashew.
The table of importing markets shows declared imports from the world, not from Spain. It tells you where demand is large, not where a Spanish exporter can sell competitively. India, the United States, Germany, China and the Netherlands lead the ranking. Part of the volume in some of them may be re-exported or processed, so a high figure does not by itself mean a market of final consumers.
Imports into India and the Netherlands deserve a second look before you plan sales. Large importers are often processing or distribution hubs. In that case the buyer is an industrial processor or a distributor of the sector, and the commercial conversation differs from selling to retail. Check who the buyer is before choosing a market.
The tariff depends on the destination, the subheading and the agreement in force. For a company exporting from Spain, the duty you pay is checked in Access2Markets, which lists tariffs, rules of origin and requirements by product and country. Do it with the full code your customer will use at customs, not only with the four-digit heading.
Sanitary and plant health requirements also depend on the market. Edible nuts are food products, so import controls usually apply. The documents required in each destination are listed in Access2Markets for EU exports. For Spain, the Spanish customs administration publishes export procedures at AEAT.
The data has a limit. Countries report with a delay, and 2025 is the latest period with consolidated data. Before sizing a market, compare more than one year and confirm the subheading in the source, because a growth in the heading total can come from one product only.
Frequently asked questions
What products does HS 0801 include?
HS 0801 includes coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashew nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled. It sits in chapter 08, edible fruit and nuts, and is divided into 10 subheadings.
Which countries import the most under HS 0801?
By declared imports in 2025, the largest are India (USD 2,179 million), the United States (USD 1,148 million), Germany (USD 777 million), China (USD 746 million) and the Netherlands (USD 513 million). The source is UN Comtrade, and the figures are imports from the world, not from any single origin.
How do I find the tariff for exporting 0801 from Spain?
The tariff depends on the destination country, the eight- or ten-digit subheading used there and any agreement between the EU and that country. It is consulted in Access2Markets by entering the product code and the destination. Rules of origin also appear there.
Does a large importer mean a good market for my product?
Not necessarily. Import value shows the size of demand, but some countries import to process or re-export. Before choosing, identify who buys in that market, whether processors, distributors or retail, and compare several years of data.
Do I need only the four-digit code to ship?
No. Four digits identify the heading, but customs in the destination apply tariffs and controls at a more detailed level. Confirm the full subheading with your customer and check it in Access2Markets before quoting.
