Last updated: April 2026 dataTurkey supplies the overwhelming majority of the world's hazelnuts, and US imports under this heading reflect that concentration, with Turkish product—whether in-shell, shelled, or blanched—dominating commercial volumes. Hazelnuts are a critical ingredient for the confectionery and chocolate industries, making supply disruptions from Turkey's Black Sea growing region a closely watched risk for food manufacturers. Aflatoxin contamination is a documented food-safety concern for hazelnut shipments, and FDA requires importers to maintain Foreign Supplier Verification Program documentation addressing this hazard. The shelled-versus-in-shell distinction affects both HTS classification and the applicable phytosanitary requirements at entry.

Because Turkey produces the large majority of global hazelnut supply, a single adverse weather event—late frost, drought, or hail in the Black Sea region—can sharply reduce world availability and drive price volatility. Importers relying on hazelnuts as a confectionery ingredient should consider forward contracting, inventory buffering, and monitoring Turkish crop reports from organizations such as the Fiskobirlik cooperative.
FDA has identified aflatoxin as a known hazard in hazelnuts, and importers must address it in their Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) hazard analysis. In practice, most buyers require lot-level aflatoxin test certificates from accredited laboratories. Shipments found to exceed FDA action levels may be detained or refused. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA compliance specialist to ensure FSVP documentation meets current requirements.
