Analysis
HTS 1801.00.00 covers cocoa beans, whole or broken, raw or roasted under heading 1801 (cocoa beans, whole or broken, raw or roasted). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
For statistics it divides in two: 1801.00.00.10 for certified organic and 1801.00.00.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 16% of the 44 tariff lines in chapter 18 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
It is the only US line under subheading 1801.00, so the six-digit code used by every Harmonized System country and the eight-digit US line describe the same goods; a foreign tariff or an exporter's invoice showing 1801.00 points straight here.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
