AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Imports of in-shell almonds typically serve ethnic retail markets and specialty food channels that prefer specific regional varieties — particularly Central Asian and Mediterranean types — with distinct flavor, shell thickness, and texture characteristics not replicated by California cultivars. Afghanistan and Uzbekistan are the leading sources for these specialty varieties.
FDA requires importers to maintain FSVP records and verify that foreign suppliers control relevant hazards, including aflatoxin and Salmonella, which are known risks for tree nuts. Importers should request microbial and mycotoxin test results from suppliers. Consult a licensed customs broker for current admissibility requirements.
