Fresh In-Shell Hazelnuts from Germany
Fresh in-shell hazelnuts are nuts harvested from Corylus spp. trees and sold with their hard shells intact. They fall under tariff item 0802.21.00 because the item covers fresh hazelnuts in shell, and Chapter Note 2 confirms that chilled nuts are classified as fresh.

Import Tips
• If the hazelnuts are chilled, ensure they are still classified as fresh under Chapter Note 2 and declared accordingly
• Provide a phytosanitary certificate to prove they are fresh and free of pests
• Confirm the shells are intact and not cracked, as damaged shells may affect classification
