What to know before exporting heading 0813 from Spain

Heading 0813 is a residual heading. It collects dried fruit that is not dried grapes, dates, figs, pineapples or the other fruits covered by headings 0801 to 0806. Dried apricots, prunes, apples and pears are typical examples, as are mixtures of nuts and dried fruit of chapter 08.

The first task is classification. The heading has five subheadings, and each one can carry a different duty and different documentary requirements. A mixture is classified according to the rules in the Harmonized System notes, so the composition of the product matters. Fix the six-digit code before quoting a price.

The import duty depends on the subheading, the destination and the trade agreement in force between the destination and the origin. For a company exporting from Spain to a market outside the EU, the applicable duty and the preferential treatment are consulted in Access2Markets, entering the product code and the destination country. Destinations beyond six digits use their own national tariff lines, so the final code may be longer.

Market access conditions also vary by destination. Sanitary and phytosanitary rules, labelling, limits on residues and contaminants, and any import certificate are set by the importing country. Access2Markets lists the requirements for each market, and the importing country's customs authority has the final word.

The table shows who imports the most, not who is easiest to enter. The United States, Germany and China lead by declared value in 2025. Germany, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Italy are EU members, so for a Spanish exporter shipments to them are intra-EU trade, with no customs duty. The United States, China, the United Kingdom, Canada, Türkiye, Mexico and Japan are export destinations with their own customs procedures.

Import figures are declared by each country and reported with a delay. Compare them as an indication of market size, and check the latest year available in UN Comtrade before sizing a commercial decision.
