Heading 0802

Other nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled

25 declarable lines

Heading 0802 covers nuts other than coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashew nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled. The heading is split first by nut type, such as almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, chestnuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts, kola nuts, areca nuts and pine nuts, then by whether the nut is in shell or shelled. Nuts not named in a specific subheading fall to the residual lines under 0802.99, which also carry separate pecan lines.
