Last updated: April 2026 dataTurkey leads US imports of shelled pistachio kernels, supplying a product that feeds confectionery, ice cream, bakery, and specialty food manufacturing. Shelled pistachios require careful moisture and color-grade management post-shelling, and the removal of the shell increases aflatoxin detection sensitivity, making lot-level mycotoxin documentation a standard commercial requirement. FDA admissibility review applies; importers should confirm that shipments from all origins meet US action levels and check for active FDA import alerts before arranging entry. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent regarding current admissibility requirements.

Shelled pistachio kernels are typically graded by color (green intensity), size (count per ounce), and defect percentage (including discolored, shriveled, or insect-damaged kernels). Deep-green kernels command the highest premiums in confectionery and pastry applications. Importers should specify grade parameters in purchase contracts and request color-analysis certificates alongside mycotoxin test results.
Turkey is not currently a US free-trade-agreement partner, so shelled pistachios from Turkey enter under the standard MFN duty rate without preferential treatment. Importers should verify the current applicable duty rate with a licensed customs broker, as classification and rate applicability can change.
