Last updated: April 2026 dataShelled almonds imported into the US are classified across three 10-digit lines — conventional (0802120015), certified organic (0802120005), and a general catch-all (0802120000) — making the organic certification status a classification-relevant distinction at the 10-digit level. Spain and Australia are the leading foreign suppliers, offering Mediterranean and Southern Hemisphere varieties that complement California's dominant domestic production. Importers should note that USDA organic certification documentation must accompany shipments claiming the organic line.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
To use the certified organic line, the importer must hold a valid USDA National Organic Program (NOP) import certificate or equivalent documentation from an NOP-accredited certifier confirming the product meets US organic standards. Without this documentation, the shipment must be classified under the conventional almond lines regardless of the supplier's domestic organic certification.
Variety differences (e.g., Marcona from Spain, or Australian cultivars) do not affect HTS classification — all shelled almonds fall within heading 080212 regardless of variety. However, variety and origin do matter commercially: Marcona almonds command premium pricing in specialty food markets and are often marketed distinctly from California-type almonds, which can affect invoice descriptions and valuation.
