U.S. imports of nuts, fresh or dried (not elsewhere specified) (HS 080299) totaled $19.1M in April 2026, traded with 17 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPecans — a commercially significant US-grown nut also imported in volume — receive dedicated tariff lines under this residual heading, split between in-shell (0802991000) and shelled (0802991500) forms, reflecting their importance to the confectionery and baking sectors. Mexico leads supply under this heading, followed by Brazil and India, covering a wide range of nut types from pecans to lesser-traded varieties classified as NESOI. Importers dealing with uncommon nut species should pay close attention to whether the commodity is in-shell or shelled, as that distinction drives tariff-line selection across all four 10-digit codes.

If the nut does not fall under a named heading (such as almonds, walnuts, cashews, or pistachios), it belongs in 080299 as NESOI. Within that heading, classification then turns on whether the product is in-shell (0802998200) or shelled (0802999800). Providing a botanical name and processing description to your customs broker helps ensure correct line selection.
Pecans under this heading are not subject to a tariff-rate quota, but they do face standard MFN duties that differ between in-shell and shelled forms. Seasonal supply patterns — driven by the US domestic harvest in fall — can influence import timing and pricing, particularly for shelled pecans sourced from Mexico.
