What HS 0802.92 covers
Shelled pine nuts are a highly sought-after culinary ingredient globally, valued for their distinctive buttery flavor and versatility in dishes ranging from pesto to salads and baked goods. This commodity is traded extensively, with major producers and exporters including China, Russia, and Pakistan, which harvest various pine species. Key importers are typically developed economies in Europe (e.g., Italy, Spain), North America, and Australia, where they are used by both food manufacturers and gourmet consumers. The trade involves significant processing to remove the shells, which adds to their cost. Quality control is paramount, focusing on freshness, absence of "pine mouth" syndrome (a temporary taste disturbance), and preventing rancidity. Market dynamics are influenced by harvest yields, labor costs for shelling, and consumer trends towards healthy, plant-based ingredients.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
