🥥 Desiccated Coconut & Coconut Products: The HS Code & Taxation Matrix
🌐 HS Code Reference & Clearance Guide | 2026 Latest Tariff Breakdown | Professional Clearance Strategy
📌 I. Product Definition & Classification: Are You Importing "Coconut" or "Copra"?
Desiccated coconut is a processed coconut product where the flesh is grated, dried, and often sifted to remove moisture. However, in international trade, the degree of processing determines the HS Code.
Key Distinctions:
- Raw/Dry Copra: Dried kernel, primarily for oil extraction. → HS 1203.00
- Food-Grade Desiccated Coconut: Grated/flaked/powdered, sweetened or unsweetened, for human consumption. → HS 1806.20
- Industrial/Other Coconut Products: Non-food uses or unspecified desiccated forms. → HS 1806.90
⚠️ Critical Warning:
- If you are importing desiccated coconut for food, it MUST be classified under Chapter 18 (Cocoa and preparations thereof), specifically 1806.
- If you are importing raw dried coconuts (copra) for oil pressing, it belongs to Chapter 12, 1203.
- Misclassification leads to severe penalty risks, especially with high "Additional Tariffs" on 1806 products.
📦 II. HS Code Classification Details (2026 Latest Tariff Authoritative Match)
| HS Code | Product Description | Application Scenario | Processing Level |
|---|---|---|---|
1203.00.00.00 |
Copra (Dried kernel of coconut) | Oil extraction, animal feed, raw material | ❌ Minimal (Dried) |
1806.20 |
Desiccated Coconut (Flakes, granules, powder) | Food industry, baking, confectionery | ✅ High (Grated & Dried) |
1806.90 |
Other Desiccated Coconut | Industrial use, non-food, or unspecified forms | ⚠️ Mixed/Industrial |
2008.19.15.00 |
Prepared/Preserved Coconuts (Not desiccated) | Canned, jarred, or otherwise preserved coconut meat | ✅ High (Preserved) |
2008.19.85.00 |
Coconut Mixtures | Mixtures of nuts/seeds including coconut | ✅ High (Mixed) |
🔍 Key Reminder:
- Desiccated Coconut is legally classified under HS 1806.20 if intended for food. Do NOT classify it as 2008 (unless it is canned/preserved, not just dried).
- Copra (1203.00.00.00) is not desiccated coconut; it is the raw dried kernel. Confusing these two causes massive tax discrepancies.
💰 III. 2026 Latest Tariff Rates Detail (Including Additional Tariffs & Policy Surcharges)
✅ Applicable Country: United States (US)
✅ Origin: China (CN) (Note: Data reflects typical US-China trade context based on provided tax data)
✅ Effective Time: Current Tariff Regime
🎯 1. 1203.00.00.00 —— Copra (Dried Coconut Kernel)
| Item | Content |
|---|---|
| Base Tariff | 0.0% (Most Favored Nation) |
| Additional Tariff | +7.5% (Section 301 / Trade War Surcharge) |
| Total Rate | 7.5% |
| Tax Calculation | CIF Value × 7.5% |
| De Minimis Eligibility | ⚠️ Check specific value limits; generally low for bulk commodities. |
| Legal Basis | Standard MFN rate + 301 Footnotes |
📌 Explanation:
- Copra is considered a raw agricultural commodity.
- The 7.5% additional tariff is specific to Chinese-origin copra under current trade measures.
- This is the lowest tax burden among coconut-related imports.
🎯 2. 1806.20 —— Desiccated Coconut (Food Grade)
| Item | Content |
|---|---|
| Base Tariff | 22.4% (High base rate for processed food items in this subheading) |
| Additional Tariff | +25.0% (Section 301 Surcharge) |
| Total Rate | 47.4% |
| Tax Calculation | CIF Value × 47.4% |
| De Minimis Eligibility | ❌ Not Eligible (High risk of audit) |
| Legal Basis | HTSUS 1806.20 + 301 Footnotes |
📌 Explanation:
- Desiccated coconut falls under HS 1806.20 in the US Tariff Schedule.
- The base rate of 22.4% is already high for a food ingredient.
- The +25% additional tariff applies to Chinese-origin goods under Section 301.
- Total: 47.4% is a VERY HIGH cost. Importers must calculate if margins can absorb this.
🎯 3. 1806.90 —— Other Desiccated Coconut (Industrial/Unspecified)
| Item | Content |
|---|---|
| Base Tariff | Failed to retrieve (Check local HTSUS for general 1806.90 rates, typically ~5-10%) |
| Additional Tariff | Failed to retrieve (Likely subject to 301 if from China) |
| Total Rate | Error (Requires manual verification) |
| Tax Calculation | N/A |
📌 Explanation:
- Data retrieval failed for this specific subheading in the provided dataset.
- Action Required: Verify with a licensed customs broker. If classified as "Other," it may still attract Section 301 tariffs.

Prepared Coconuts (Single Item) | 0.0% | Base 0%, Add 0%. Lowest Tax for Prepared Form. |
2008.19.85.00 |
Coconut Mixtures | 47.4% | Base 22.4% + Add 25.0%. High Tax. |
📌 Explanation:
- If your product is canned, jarred, or preserved in syrup/oil (not just dried flakes), it may qualify for HS 2008.
- HS 2008.19.15.00 has 0% total tax. This is a crucial optimization opportunity if the product form allows.
- HS 2008.19.85.00 (Mixtures) is heavily taxed at 47.4%.
🛠️ IV. Clearance Practical Advice (实战避坑指南)
✅ 1. Document Checklist (Essential for Smooth Clearance)
| Document | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ Product Specification Sheet | ✔️ | Defines moisture content, particle size (flakes/powder), and ingredient list. |
| ✅ Certificate of Analysis (COA) | ✔️ | Proves it is "Desiccated Coconut" (food grade) vs. "Copra" (industrial). |
| ✅ Certificate of Origin (CO) | ✔️ | Critical for determining origin-based tariffs (e.g., China vs. Vietnam). |
| ✅ Commercial Invoice | ✔️ | Must clearly state "Desiccated Coconut" or "Copra" — avoid vague terms like "Coconut Chips." |
| ✅ Filing Declaration | ✔️ | If using 2008.19.15.00, prove it is "Preserved/Prepared" not just "Dried." |
✅ 2. Declaration Strategy (Key Tactics)
🔥 “Form Determines Code, Code Determines Cost!”
| Scenario | Correct HS Code | Risk if Wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Dried Flakes for Baking | 1806.20 |
If declared as Copra (1203.00), risk of penalty for misdeclaration. |
| Raw Dried Kernels for Oil | 1203.00.00.00 |
If declared as Desiccated (1806.20), you pay 47.4% instead of 7.5%. |
| Canned/Jarred Coconut Meat | 2008.19.15.00 |
If declared as Desiccated, you pay 47.4% instead of 0%. Optimize here! |
| Coconut + Almond Mix | 2008.19.85.00 |
High tax (47.4%). Ensure mixture nature is clear. |
✅ 3. Special Cases
| Situation | Handling Advice |
|---|---|
| OEM Private Label | Ensure invoice matches the physical product. "Private Label" does not change HS code. |
| Mixed Packaging | If a box contains both copra and desiccated coconut, declare separately to apply correct rates. |
| Small Samples | Check De Minimis limits (e.g., $800 for US Section 321). However, high-risk HS codes may still require entry filing. |
| Vietnamese Origin | If desiccated coconut is from Vietnam, it may avoid US Section 301 tariffs. Apply for preferential tariff! |
🌍 V. Global Market Comparison (2026 Latest)
| Country/Region | Recommended HS Code | Estimated Tax (China Origin) | Certification | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸 USA | 1806.20 |
47.4% | FDA Registration + FSMA | High tax on desiccated. Use 1203.00 for copra (7.5%). |
| 🇺🇸 USA | 2008.19.15.00 |
0.0% | FDA Registration + FSMA | Only for preserved/canned, not dried flakes. |
| 🇨🇳 China | 1806.20 |
~10-20% | CIQ + Halal | Lower base tax than US. |
| 🇪🇺 EU | 1806.20 |
~10-12% | HACCP + Organic Cert | No Section 301 surcharge. |
| 🇯🇵 Japan | 1806.20 |
~5-10% | JAS (Organic) | Strict residue limits. |
📌 Conclusion:
- USA: Hardest market due to 47.4% tax on desiccated coconut.
- Optimization: If your product can be classified as Copra (1203.00) or Preserved (2008.19.15.00), taxes drop significantly.
- Non-China Origin: Vietnamese or Filipino desiccated coconut avoids US 301 tariffs, reducing cost by ~25-40%.
📌 VI. Common Errors & Pitfalls (Blood Lessons)
❌ Error 1: Declaring "Desiccated Coconut" as "Copra" (1203.00.00.00) to save tax.
👉 Consequence: FDA seizure, customs penalty, and retroactive tax at 47.4%. Desiccated coconut is processed; Copra is raw.
❌ Error 2: Declaring "Canned Coconut" as "Desiccated Coconut" (1806.20).
👉 Consequence: Overpayment of tax. You could save 47.4% by correctly using 2008.19.15.00 (0% tax).
❌ Error 3: Using vague descriptions like "Coconut Chips" on the invoice.
👉 Consequence: CBP may classify under "Other Nuts" (2008.19.85.00) → 47.4% tax. Be specific.
❌ Error 4: Ignoring the "Mixed" classification.
👉 Consequence: If your product contains other nuts, it falls under 2008.19.85.00 (47.4%), not the single-item 2008.19.15.00 (0%).
✅ Correct Practice:
"Desiccated Coconut, Food Grade, Flakes, 7% Moisture, No Sugar Added, HS 1806.20"
OR
"Copra, Dried Coconut Kernel, for Oil Extraction, HS 1203.00.00.00"
🎯 VII. Conclusion: Professional Declaration Saves Money!
🎯 Remember:
🔹 "Dried Flakes = 1806.20 (47.4%) | Raw Kernels = 1203.00 (7.5%) | Canned = 2008.19.15 (0%)"
🔹 "Form is King. Don't pay 47% when you can pay 7% or 0%!"
🔹 "Origin Matters. Vietnam/Philippines avoids 301 tariffs!"
📌 Pro Tip:
If you are importing desiccated coconut and the tax burden is too high:
1. Check Origin: Can you source from Vietnam/Philippines? (Avoids 25% surcharge).
2. Check Form: Can you import as Copra (1203.00) and process locally? (Saves 40%+).
3. Check Preservation: Is it canned/jarred? Use2008.19.15.00for 0% tax.

关于 HS 编码归类
协调制度（HS）是由世界海关组织（WCO）制定的国际贸易商品分类标准。全球 200 多个国家采用 HS 系统作为海关关税、贸易统计和进出口监管的基础。
每个 HS 编码遵循以下层级结构：
- 章（2 位）——商品大类（例如：第 84 章：机器和机械设备）
- 品目（4 位）——章内的更具体分类
- 子目（6 位）——国际通用细分，所有 WCO 成员国统一使用
- 本国细分（8-10 位）——各国自行扩展的细分编码，如美国 HTSUS 10 位编码
正确的 HS 编码归类对于顺利通关、准确缴纳关税和遵守贸易法规至关重要。错误归类可能导致海关延误、多缴关税或罚款。
从CN进口到US时，适用的关税税率可能包括：
- 最惠国（MFN）税率——适用于 WTO 成员国的标准关税税率
- 普通税率——适用于无贸易协定国家
- 贸易救济关税——附加关税，如 301 条款（反倾销）、232 条款（国家安全）或反补贴税
