Last updated: July 2026 dataCoconuts trade in several commercially distinct forms under this heading—whole fresh coconuts, dried copra, desiccated coconut meat, and coconut water in its natural state—each serving different end-use industries from food manufacturing to cosmetics inputs. The shell-on versus shelled distinction matters for both tariff classification at the HTS level and for USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements, since whole coconuts with husks can harbor regulated pests. Southeast Asian origins, particularly the Philippines and Indonesia, are dominant global suppliers of dried coconut products. FDA oversight applies to coconut products intended for human consumption, and importers should maintain FSVP documentation accordingly.

Yes. Whole coconuts with husks intact may be subject to additional USDA APHIS phytosanitary scrutiny because the husk can harbor insects or plant material. Shelled or desiccated coconut products generally face fewer phytosanitary restrictions but remain subject to FDA food-safety requirements. Importers should verify current APHIS conditions for the specific form being imported.
Copra is dried coconut meat primarily used as an industrial oilseed input for coconut oil extraction, while desiccated coconut is a food-grade dried product used in baking and confectionery. Both fall under SITC 05771, but they may be classified under different HTS subheadings and face different FDA food-safety documentation requirements depending on intended end use.
