Fresh In-Shell Brazil Nuts from Germany
Fresh in-shell Brazil nuts harvested from the Bertholletia excelsa tree, still encased in their hard, woody shells. These nuts are air-dried after harvest but retain high moisture content, making them unsuitable for long-term storage without refrigeration. They fall under tariff item 0801.21.00 as fresh or dried Brazil nuts in shell.
