Last updated: April 2026 dataServing as the catch-all category for edible nuts not enumerated elsewhere in the SITC schedule — such as macadamia nuts, pine nuts, pecans in certain classifications, and kola nuts — SITC 05779 captures a commercially diverse set of products with widely varying duty treatments, phytosanitary requirements, and end-use markets. Because this heading is residual by design, correct classification requires confirming that the specific nut variety does not belong to a more specific SITC heading before filing. FDA food-safety review applies across the board, and APHIS phytosanitary documentation requirements vary significantly by nut species and country of origin. Importers handling multiple nut varieties under this heading should maintain species-level documentation to support both customs classification and regulatory review.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Varieties commonly classified here include macadamia nuts, pine nuts (pignolia), kola nuts, and certain other specialty nuts not covered by dedicated SITC headings for walnuts, chestnuts, pistachios, almonds, hazelnuts, or coconuts. Importers should verify the correct heading for each species, as misclassification can result in incorrect duty payment or admissibility issues.
Yes, significantly. Each nut species carries its own pest and disease risk profile, and APHIS requirements — including phytosanitary certificates, approved treatments, or import permits — vary accordingly. For example, pine nuts from certain origins may require specific pest-risk mitigation, while macadamia nuts in-shell have different quarantine considerations. Importers should consult APHIS import regulations for each specific species before shipment.
