Last updated: April 2026 dataShelled cashews are among the most widely traded tree nuts in US commerce, serving snack food, confectionery, and food service sectors. Vietnam is by far the dominant supplier, processing raw cashews sourced from West Africa and other growing regions before re-exporting finished kernels to the US. Côte d'Ivoire and Brazil are also notable sources. All shipments enter under 0801320000 and are subject to FDA oversight, including FSMA foreign supplier verification obligations.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Vietnam has invested heavily in cashew processing infrastructure and imports raw in-shell cashews from West African producers (particularly Côte d'Ivoire) for shelling and finishing. This processing hub model means Vietnam's export volumes of shelled cashews far exceed what its domestic harvest alone would support, making it the single largest supplier to the US market.
Importers must establish a Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) under FSMA, conduct or obtain hazard analyses for the supplier facility, and maintain records of verification activities. Shelled cashews are also a common allergen, so labeling compliance under FDA food allergen rules is required for retail-packaged product. Consult a licensed customs broker or food safety specialist before your first shipment.
