Last updated: August 2026 dataVietnam is by far the world's leading processor and exporter of shelled cashews, and that dominance is reflected in US import flows under this heading — raw cashews are typically grown in West Africa (including Côte d'Ivoire and Benin) and shipped to Vietnam or other processing hubs before entering the US market as shelled product. Shelled cashews enter under a single US tariff line (0801320000) and are subject to FDA food-safety oversight, including FSMA Foreign Supplier Verification Program requirements for importers. Buyers should be attentive to aflatoxin and moisture specifications, which affect both admissibility and commercial grade.

Country of origin for shelled cashews is determined by where substantial transformation occurs — in this case, the shelling and processing operation. Raw cashews grown in Côte d'Ivoire or Benin are frequently exported to Vietnam for industrial shelling, grading, and packaging, making Vietnam the country of origin for customs purposes even though the nuts were grown elsewhere.
Under FSMA, importers must maintain a Foreign Supplier Verification Program (FSVP) that includes hazard analysis and verification activities — such as supplier audits or product testing — to confirm the foreign supplier is producing cashews in a manner that meets US food-safety standards. FDA may request FSVP records during entry review. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent for current admissibility requirements.
