Halawy Dates with Pits from Mexico
Halawy dates, a soft amber variety, are dried naturally and sold whole with pits. They are classified under tariff item 0804.10.00 as dates, fresh or dried, and are not among the major varieties like Medjool. Their vanilla-honey flavour makes them a sought-after confectionery ingredient.
