About nuts, edible; hazelnuts or filberts (corylus spp.), fresh or dried, in shell

HS code 080221 covers the trade of fresh or dried hazelnuts or filberts, which are a popular and versatile type of tree nut. Hazelnuts are an important agricultural commodity, with global production and trade playing a significant role in the broader food and beverage industry. As a nutrient-dense snack and ingredient, hazelnuts are in high demand worldwide, making this HS code an important one to understand for those involved in the import/export of edible nuts.

Production process

Hazelnuts are primarily produced through the cultivation of hazelnut trees, which are typically grown in temperate climates. The nuts are harvested by shaking the trees, causing the nuts to fall to the ground, where they are then collected. After harvesting, the nuts may undergo various processing steps, such as drying, sorting, and shelling, before being packaged and distributed for sale as fresh or dried in-shell hazelnuts.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the hazelnut industry include hazelnut tree seedlings or saplings, agricultural land suitable for hazelnut cultivation, farm equipment for harvesting and processing, and labor for planting, tending, and harvesting the crop. Additionally, inputs such as fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation systems may be necessary to ensure optimal hazelnut production.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 080221 is fresh or dried in-shell hazelnuts. These nuts can be consumed directly as a snack or used as an ingredient in a wide range of food products, including baked goods, confectionery, and various savory dishes. Hazelnuts may also be further processed into other products, such as hazelnut oil or hazelnut flour, which fall under different HS codes, such as 151590 Vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, nes, refined or not but not chemically modified and 110620 Flour, meal and powder of the dried leguminous vegetables of heading 0713, of sago or of roots or tubers of heading 0714 or of the products of chapter 8.
