Sourcing this category from India

HS 1802.00 covers Cocoa; shells, husks, skins and other cocoa waste. It is a leaf classification, so it sets the duty line directly for goods that fall under it. India is a modest cocoa grower and a growing processor, exporting cocoa powder and chocolate preparations regionally. India exported $58K under this code worldwide in 2024, ranking #1 of 1 lines in its heading (UN Comtrade).

How to read this code

1802.00 is the six-digit HS subheading for cocoa. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many prepared foodstuffs, beverages & tobacco lines — check our import guides for your market.
