Last updated: April 2026 dataChestnuts of the genus Castanea arrive in-shell under a single 10-digit line (0802410000), with Italy and South Korea the leading US import sources, followed by China and Portugal. Unlike most tree nuts, chestnuts have a high starch content and low fat, making moisture management and cold-chain integrity critical to preventing mold and sprouting during transit. FDA regulates these as a food commodity subject to prior notice and port-of-entry sampling, and importers should be aware that fresh chestnuts have a narrow seasonal availability window centered on autumn harvests.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Chestnuts are highly perishable compared to other tree nuts due to their high moisture and starch content. They are prone to mold, sprouting, and fermentation if temperature or humidity is not tightly controlled during ocean transit. Most supply arrives in a concentrated autumn window, so delays at port — including FDA sampling holds — can result in significant quality loss.
Yes. USDA APHIS may require phytosanitary certificates for in-shell chestnuts to guard against pests such as chestnut weevil and oriental chestnut gall wasp. Requirements vary by country of origin; importers should verify current APHIS conditions of entry before shipment and consult a licensed customs broker for the latest admissibility requirements.
