HS code 0802.22 is the 6-digit subheading for nuts, edible, hazelnuts or filberts (corylus spp.), fresh or dried, shelled. It is used for raw shelled hazelnuts, roasted shelled hazelnuts, blanched shelled hazelnuts, chopped hazelnuts and hazelnut kernels.
What HS 0802.22 covers
This HS code covers hazelnuts or filberts that have been removed from their shell, whether fresh or dried. Shelled hazelnuts are a highly sought-after ingredient in the confectionery, baking, and snack industries due to their distinctive flavor and nutritional profile. Turkey remains the largest producer and exporter, with Italy and the USA also contributing significantly to global supply. Key importers include Germany, France, and the United States, driven by demand from chocolate manufacturers (e.g., for Nutella) and gourmet food producers. Trade in shelled hazelnuts emphasizes strict quality standards, including moisture content, kernel integrity, and absence of defects, as they are often a premium ingredient. Food safety, particularly concerning aflatoxins, is a critical aspect of international trade for this commodity.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
