Turkey's near-monopoly on global hazelnut production makes it the overwhelmingly dominant supplier of in-shell hazelnuts to the US, with Canada a distant secondary source. All in-shell product enters under 0802210000. The confectionery and chocolate industries are the primary end-use sectors, and annual crop conditions in Turkey's Black Sea growing region — where weather and disease pressure can sharply affect yields — are closely watched by US importers for supply and pricing signals.

Because Turkey accounts for the vast majority of global hazelnut production, US importers of in-shell hazelnuts have very limited origin diversification options. A poor Turkish harvest — driven by late frosts, drought, or disease — can cause significant price spikes and supply shortfalls with little ability to substitute from alternative origins. Importers reliant on hazelnuts for confectionery production often use forward contracts or maintain strategic inventory buffers to manage this concentration risk.
Yes — in-shell hazelnuts are commercially graded by shell size, kernel fill ratio, and moisture content. Turkish exporters typically sort product into size grades (e.g., 11mm, 13mm, 15mm diameter) that correspond to different end-use applications and price points. Importers should specify grade requirements in purchase contracts, as the HTS classification does not distinguish by grade.
