Last updated: August 2026 dataShelled pine nuts are subdivided in the US schedule between pignolia (0802921000) — the Mediterranean stone-pine variety prized in culinary applications — and other shelled pine nuts (0802929000), a distinction that matters commercially because pignolia commands a significant price premium. China is the dominant supplier, with Mongolia and Vietnam also contributing, and pine nuts from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a cost factor that importers must account for in landed-cost calculations. Wild-harvest seasonality and multi-year cone production cycles create supply volatility that distinguishes this commodity from most other tree nuts.

Pignolia (0802921000) refers specifically to nuts from the Mediterranean stone pine (Pinus pinea), valued for their elongated shape and mild flavor in culinary use. All other shelled pine nuts — including Asian species such as Korean pine — fall under 0802929000. The distinction affects both duty treatment and commercial valuation, so species identification documentation from the supplier is advisable.
Pine nuts originating in China are subject to Section 301 tariffs in addition to the standard MFN duty rate. Because China is the leading supplier under this heading, importers sourcing from China should factor the Section 301 measure into landed-cost models and explore whether alternative origins such as Mongolia or Vietnam offer a cost advantage for their specific product specifications.
