Trade overview

Namibia, assigned USCS code 7920, is a significant source of diamonds, uranium, and marine fishery products in US trade data. The diamond trade from Namibia intersects with Kimberley Process Certification Scheme requirements, which US importers must satisfy to demonstrate that rough diamonds are conflict-free. Namibia's high-quality marine fish and seafood exports — particularly hake — are subject to FDA admissibility review, and importers should confirm that processing facilities meet US seafood safety standards.
