Last updated: July 2026 dataPine nuts in shell are classified across three US tariff lines: a general line (0802910000), a line specifically for pignolia — the Italian stone pine variety (0802911000) — and a residual line for other in-shell pine nuts (0802919000). Vietnam and China are the leading suppliers, with Afghanistan also a significant source, reflecting the geographic spread of pine species harvested for edible seeds. The pignolia distinction matters commercially because Italian stone pine kernels are larger and command premium prices in Mediterranean cuisine and specialty food markets compared to Asian pine nut varieties. FDA admissibility review applies to imported pine nuts.

Pignolia refers specifically to seeds of Pinus pinea, the Italian stone pine, which produce larger, elongated kernels prized in Mediterranean cooking and confectionery. Other in-shell pine nuts — including those from Asian Pinus species such as P. koraiensis — are smaller and have a different flavor profile. The US tariff schedule separates pignolia (0802911000) from other in-shell pine nuts (0802919000), so importers must correctly identify the species at entry to avoid misclassification.
Pine nuts from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs, which can significantly affect the landed cost of Chinese-origin product. Importers should confirm current Section 301 applicability and any available exclusions with a licensed customs broker before finalizing sourcing decisions, particularly given that China is among the leading suppliers under this heading.
