Palm Nuts and Kernels

U.S. imports of palm nuts and kernels (HS 120710) totaled $0 in April 2026, traded with 3 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Palm 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are palm nuts and kernels classified differently from palm kernel oil or palm kernel cake?

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.

Are there any USDA APHIS requirements for importing palm nuts and kernels?

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.
