August 2026 · U.S. exports more than it imports
In August 2026 the United States imported $8.1M from Mozambique and exported $9.4M to it, across 50 imported product categories.
Over the twelve months to August 2026, the U.S. imported $99.9M from Mozambique and exported $267.9M to it. In August 2026, the U.S. ran a monthly goods trade surplus of $1.3M with Mozambique, exporting 1.2× as much as it imported.
Mozambique's US export profile is anchored by natural resources — including coal, aluminum (produced at the Mozal smelter), and seafood such as prawns — alongside agricultural commodities like cashew nuts and sesame. Aluminum exports from Mozambique may be subject to Section 232 tariff considerations, making duty classification and origin documentation particularly important for US metal importers. Prawn and seafood shipments require FDA admissibility review, and importers should confirm that Mozambican processing facilities meet US food-safety standards.

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.
