Products classified under Tariff item 0802.4
Dried In-Shell American Chestnuts
Dried in-shell American chestnuts (Castanea dentata), naturally air-dried to preserve shelf life while retaining the outer shell. They fall under this tariff item as chestnuts in shell, fresh or dried, and are not prepared beyond drying, which is permitted for dried nuts under Chapter Note 3.
0802.41.00Dried In-Shell Japanese Chestnuts
Dried in-shell Japanese chestnuts (Castanea crenata), air-dried and sold with intact shells. They are classified under this tariff item as chestnuts in shell, fresh or dried, since drying alone does not alter their nature as nuts of Chapter 08.
0802.41.00Fresh In-Shell Chinese Chestnuts
Fresh in-shell Chinese chestnuts (Castanea mollissima), harvested in season and sold with their natural brown shells. They fall under this tariff item as fresh chestnuts in shell, as Chapter Note 2 confirms chilled fruits and nuts are classified as fresh, and no processing beyond natural state is involved.
0802.41.00Fresh In-Shell European Sweet Chestnuts
Fresh in-shell European sweet chestnuts (Castanea sativa), premium quality from Italy or Spain, packed in-shell for retail. They are classified under this tariff item as fresh chestnuts in shell, with no processing beyond harvesting and packaging.
0802.41.00Holiday Pack In-Shell Roasted Chestnuts
Lightly roasted but unpeeled chestnuts packaged for winter sales, with intact shells. These are borderline, but if the roasting is minimal and they are not fully cooked for immediate consumption, they retain the character of dried in-shell chestnuts under this tariff item, consistent with Chapter Note 3 allowances for moderate heat treatment.
0802.41.00Organic Fresh In-Shell Chestnuts
Certified organic fresh in-shell chestnuts (Castanea spp.), grown without synthetic pesticides and sold fresh in-shell. They fall under this tariff item as fresh chestnuts in shell; organic certification does not affect tariff classification but may be relevant for other import documentation.
0802.42.00Blanched Shelled Chestnuts
Blanched shelled chestnuts with the pellicle removed for easier cooking, still in a fresh or dried state. Blanching does not constitute preservation, so they retain the character of shelled chestnuts under this tariff item.
0802.42.00Dried Shelled Chinese Chestnuts
Dried shelled chestnuts from Castanea mollissima, vacuum-packed for extended shelf life while retaining natural flavor. Vacuum packing does not alter their classification as dried shelled chestnuts under this tariff item.
0802.42.00Fresh Shelled American Chestnuts
Freshly shelled chestnuts from hybrid Castanea dentata varieties, hand-processed to remove shells immediately after harvest. These are fresh shelled chestnuts, which are explicitly covered by this tariff item for Castanea spp.
0802.42.00Organic Shelled Chestnuts
Certified organic shelled chestnuts (Castanea spp.), grown without synthetic pesticides and shelled post-harvest. Organic status does not affect classification; they remain shelled chestnuts under this tariff item.
0802.42.00Shelled Italian Chestnuts
Fresh shelled chestnuts from Castanea sativa, with the outer shell removed but pellicle intact, commonly used in holiday roasting. These are fresh shelled chestnuts, directly covered by this tariff item for Castanea spp.
0802.42.00Shelled Roasted-Ready Chestnuts
Shelled chestnuts prepared for home roasting, blanched but uncooked, from European varieties. Blanching without cooking or preservation keeps them in the fresh or dried state, so they fall under this tariff item.
0802.42.00Vacuum-Packed Shelled Chestnuts
Shelled chestnuts packed under vacuum to maintain freshness without preservatives. Vacuum packaging does not affect classification; they remain shelled chestnuts under this tariff item.
