Last updated: July 2026 dataPalm hearts — the tender inner core harvested from certain palm species — are classified under a single 10-digit line (2008910000) and enter the US almost exclusively from South American origins, with Ecuador and Peru the leading suppliers. The product is commercially significant in the specialty and natural-foods retail segment, typically packed in brine in glass jars or cans. Because palm heart harvesting practices intersect with sustainability concerns in some source regions, buyers increasingly request chain-of-custody documentation alongside standard FDA admissibility requirements.

Most commercially traded palm hearts come from cultivated peach palm (Bejuco) or other non-protected species and are not subject to CITES restrictions. However, importers sourcing from wild-harvest operations should verify that the species and harvest method comply with both the exporting country's regulations and any applicable US import requirements. Documentation of species identity and legal harvest origin is advisable.
Canned palm hearts are subject to FDA prior notice, facility registration, and — as a hermetically sealed low-acid or acidified food — must comply with FDA's LACF/acidified food regulations (21 CFR Parts 108, 113, 114). The foreign processing establishment must be registered with FDA and have filed scheduled processes. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA specialist to confirm current admissibility requirements.
