U.S. Trade with Mozambique

Aluminum imports are broadly subject to Section 232 tariff measures, and Mozambique is not among the countries that have negotiated a blanket exclusion. US importers should verify the current Section 232 status for Mozambican aluminum — including whether any product-specific exclusions apply — with a licensed customs broker before finalizing sourcing decisions, as the regulatory landscape can change.

FDA requires prior notice of imported food shipments, including seafood, and Mozambican prawn processors must operate under HACCP-compliant food-safety systems. Shipments may be physically examined at the US port of entry, and facilities with prior FDA violations may face automatic detention. Importers should request current FDA compliance records from their Mozambican suppliers before shipment.
