Trade overview
Sao Tome and Principe (country code 7644) is a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea whose US trade profile is anchored by cocoa, historically regarded as a fine-flavor origin prized by specialty chocolate manufacturers. FDA prior notice and FSMA foreign supplier verification requirements apply to cocoa and food imports from this origin. The country's limited export volume and single-origin cachet make it a niche but notable source for specialty food importers.
