Fresh In-Shell Brazil Nuts from Canada
Fresh Brazil nuts harvested from the Bertholletia excelsa tree, still encased in their hard, woody shells. These nuts are typically air-dried after harvest but retain high moisture content, making them unsuitable for long-term storage without further processing. Classified under HTS 0801.21.00.00 as fresh or dried Brazil nuts in shell.

Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries confirming nuts are free from pests like the Brazil nut weevil
• Verify moisture content below 7% for dried classification; fresh nuts may require additional inspection
• Label clearly as 'Brazil nuts in shell' to avoid misclassification with shelled products
