U.S. imports of Nuts (End-Use 00140) totaled $282.9M in August 2026, imported from 103 countries.
Importers of Nuts paid $7.4M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 2.60% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Nuts imports of $282.9M in August 2026 ran 19% above the year-to-date monthly average of $237.2M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataTree nuts and peanuts imported into the United States are subject to FDA food-safety oversight, including aflatoxin monitoring, which is a recurring compliance concern given that mycotoxin contamination can trigger automatic detention. Almonds, cashews, pistachios, and walnuts are among the most actively traded lines in this end-use group, with supply concentrated in a relatively small number of origin countries. Classification turns on whether nuts are shelled or unshelled, roasted or raw, and whether they are whole, split, or otherwise prepared — distinctions that carry real duty-rate consequences. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements may also apply to unprocessed nuts imported with shells.

End-Use codes describe different products on the import and export sides. Cross-direction exports are not shown for this slug.
Aflatoxins are naturally occurring mycotoxins produced by mold that can develop in nuts during growth, harvest, or storage. FDA enforces action levels for aflatoxin in food, and shipments that test above those levels are subject to refusal of admission. Importers should require certificates of analysis from suppliers and consider independent pre-shipment testing, especially for peanuts, pistachios, and tree nuts from regions with warm, humid growing conditions.
Most nut HTS headings explicitly separate in-shell from shelled product, and the two forms carry different duty rates. Further subdivisions distinguish roasted from raw and whole from broken or ground. Importers should confirm the exact physical state of the product — including whether any roasting or blanching occurred — before declaring a classification, as post-entry reclassification can result in additional duties and penalties.
