Last updated: August 2026 dataShelled chestnuts — used extensively in European-style confections, stuffings, and purees — enter the US under a single 10-digit line (0802420000), with Italy and Portugal the dominant suppliers, followed by Spain and China. The shelled form is more shelf-stable than fresh in-shell product but still requires careful moisture control to prevent mold; vacuum-packed or modified-atmosphere packaging is standard for commercial shipments. FDA prior notice and food-facility registration requirements apply, and importers should confirm that processing facilities abroad meet FDA food-safety standards.

Shelled chestnuts are typically imported in vacuum-sealed or modified-atmosphere retail or bulk packs. FDA may examine packaging integrity as part of port-of-entry inspection; damaged seals can indicate potential contamination or spoilage. Importers should ensure that foreign processors are FDA-registered and that labeling complies with US food-labeling regulations. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent for entry-specific guidance.
No. The single 10-digit line 0802420000 covers both fresh and dried shelled chestnuts without subdivision. The fresh-versus-dried distinction matters commercially for shelf life and pricing but does not create separate tariff lines under the current US schedule.
