Import Tips
• Verify country of origin labeling as pine nut quality varies by region (Italy, Spain, China); provide phytosanitary certificates
• Ensure nuts are free from pests like pine nut weevils; fumigation may be required for USDA APHIS clearance
• Avoid misclassification as unshelled almonds (0802.51); confirm botanical species via lab testing if challenged
