Cashew Nuts, Fresh or Dried, In Shell

U.S. imports of cashew nuts, fresh or dried, in shell (HS 080131) totaled $0 in April 2026, traded with 2 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Raw cashew nuts in shell (RCN) are a primary agricultural commodity traded before the labor-intensive shelling and processing stage. Brazil leads US imports of in-shell cashews, alongside Vietnam and India — countries that are also major processors, meaning some in-shell trade reflects raw material flows into processing networks rather than direct consumer use. FDA prior notice and food facility registration requirements apply. Importers should note that the caustic liquid (CNSL) within the shell creates handling and safety considerations that affect packaging and transport documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What handling or transport considerations apply specifically to in-shell cashews that do not apply to shelled kernels?

The shell of a raw cashew contains cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL), a caustic substance that can cause skin irritation. This affects packaging requirements, worker safety protocols during handling, and in some cases transport documentation. Importers and freight forwarders should confirm that bulk shipments are packaged to prevent CNSL leakage and that handling instructions are communicated to port personnel.

Are in-shell cashews subject to any USDA APHIS requirements at entry?

Yes. In-shell cashews may be subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements, including a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country. Specific treatment or inspection requirements can vary by origin, so importers should consult current APHIS import conditions before shipment to avoid delays at the port of entry. Consulting a licensed customs broker or APHIS directly is advisable for complex shipments.
