What HS 0802.41 covers
This HS code refers to chestnuts that are still in their shell, whether fresh or dried. In-shell chestnuts are a seasonal delicacy, particularly popular in autumn and winter, often roasted and consumed directly. China is the world's largest producer and exporter of chestnuts, with Turkey and South Korea also contributing significantly. Major importing countries include Italy, Japan, and the United States, where they are valued for their unique flavor and texture. International trade in in-shell chestnuts requires careful handling due to their relatively short shelf life when fresh, necessitating proper storage and transportation to prevent spoilage. Quality assessment focuses on size, absence of cracks, and freedom from pests, ensuring they reach consumers in optimal condition.

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).
