Operational reference for import-export businesses.
1. SCOPE & KEY RISKS
This guide covers macadamia nuts for food use. Seed material, medicinal use, macadamia oil, cosmetic raw materials or special preparations require a separate review.
2. KEY TERMS
HS, plant quarantine, Phytosanitary Certificate, food safety, C/O and ETA should be locked before arrival.
Classification basis for customs and tax.
Controls phytosanitary risks for plant products.
Used to claim FTA preference when eligible.
Target milestone for pre-arrival compliance checks.
3. PRODUCT CLASSIFICATION
Distinguish in-shell nuts, shelled kernels, dried-only goods, roasted goods, seasoned/flavoured goods, bulk industrial inputs and retail packs.
4. HS CODE – TAX – C/O
Primary references are 0802.61.00 for in-shell macadamia and 0802.62.00 for shelled macadamia when still fresh/dried and not prepared as another product. MFN is referenced at 30%; FTA rates must be checked by origin and filing date.

Commercial documents, technical/specialized documents, and the registration/cross-check set must be managed separately.
6. LEGAL BASIS & POLICY MATRIX
Review plant quarantine rules, Decree 15/2018 on food safety, current tariff rules, VAT rules, and imported-goods labelling.
7. TIMELINE, FEES & RISK COSTS
Lock product status, HS, VAT, FTA, quarantine and food-safety documents before ETA. Avoid inventing fixed fees or processing times.
