Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like filbertworm, required for all shelled hazelnut imports
• Verify shell removal method to ensure classification as 'shelled' rather than peeled; residual skin keeps it in 0802.22
• Check for fumigation treatments; residues may trigger FDA prior notice or additional USDA inspections
