Holiday Pack In-Shell Roasted Chestnuts from Germany
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.

Import Tips
• Ensure the roasting is only for preservation or stabilization, not for making them ready-to-eat, as fully cooked chestnuts fall under Chapter 20
• Provide a detailed description of the roasting process to the CBSA
• If any oil or glucose syrup is added, confirm it is within the limits of Chapter Note 3
