Trade overview

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.
