Analysis
HTS 0801.22.00 covers brazil nuts: shelled under heading 0801 (coconuts, Brazil nuts and cashew nuts, fresh or dried, whether or not shelled or peeled).
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 47% of the 60 tariff lines in chapter 08 that are also free. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111335 (Tree Nut Farming), the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
All 6 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
