U.S. imports of prepared or preserved nuts & seeds (excluding peanuts) (HS 200819) totaled $68.2M in April 2026, traded with 75 countries.
Importers of Prepared or Preserved Nuts & Seeds (Excluding Peanuts) paid $4.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 9.2% on $49.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataVietnam is the leading US supplier under this heading — driven largely by processed cashews — followed by Canada, Thailand, Turkey, and Mexico across a diverse range of tree nuts and seeds including almonds, pistachios, filberts (hazelnuts), pecans, Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, pignolia (pine nuts), coconuts, watermelon seeds, and mixed nut preparations. The fourteen 10-digit lines are organized by nut or seed type, with a dedicated line for microwave-packaged popcorn (2008199050) reflecting its distinct retail channel. Turkish-origin filberts and Vietnamese cashews are commercially significant enough that supply disruptions in either origin can affect US retail pricing. FDA food facility registration applies to all foreign processors, and aflatoxin risk is a recurring compliance consideration for tree nuts generally.

CBP established a dedicated line for popcorn put up in microwaveable packages because the retail-ready, consumer-packaged format — including added fats, flavorings, and the specialized bag — distinguishes it commercially and for duty purposes from bulk or simply roasted corn kernels. Importers of microwave popcorn should ensure the product is correctly identified as put up in microwaveable packages; popcorn in other retail formats may fall under a different NESOI line.
Given that Iranian-origin pistachios are subject to import restrictions, CBP scrutinizes origin claims for pistachios carefully. Importers of Turkish-origin prepared pistachios (2008193020) should obtain a certificate of origin issued by the Turkish exporter, supported by supplier affidavits, processing records, and phytosanitary documentation. CBP may request additional evidence of substantial transformation in Turkey if the raw nuts were sourced from a third country. A licensed customs broker experienced in agricultural imports can help structure the documentation package.
