U.S. imports of palm nuts and kernels (HS 120710) totaled $0 in April 2026, traded with 3 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPalm nuts and kernels — the raw material for palm kernel oil and palm kernel meal — enter the US under a single 10-digit line (1207100000), reflecting their relatively narrow industrial end-use compared to other oilseeds. Vietnam and India are the leading US suppliers under this heading. Because palm kernel products are distinct from crude palm oil (classified elsewhere), importers should verify that the commodity is the intact or broken nut or kernel rather than an extracted oil or cake, which would fall under different headings.

Palm nuts and kernels in their natural or broken state fall under HTS heading 1207.10. Once the oil is extracted, it classifies under Chapter 15 (vegetable fats and oils), and the resulting expeller cake or meal classifies under Chapter 23 (residues from oil extraction). Correct classification depends on the degree of processing at the time of importation.
Yes. USDA APHIS regulates the importation of palm nuts and kernels due to the risk of introducing plant pests. Shipments generally require a phytosanitary certificate, and APHIS may impose specific treatment or inspection conditions depending on the origin country. Importers should consult current APHIS import requirements before shipment.
