Last updated: August 2026 dataShelled walnuts enter US commerce primarily through Canada and Mexico, which serve as significant re-export and processing hubs for kernels originating in California and other growing regions. Uzbekistan and Moldova also appear among top suppliers, reflecting Eastern European and Central Asian production capacity. Shelled walnut kernels — sold as halves, pieces, or meal — are a high-volume ingredient for bakers, snack manufacturers, and retail packagers, making consistent kernel color (light amber vs. extra-light grades) a commercially critical specification. FDA admissibility review applies, and importers should ensure lots comply with US action levels for aflatoxin.

US buyers typically specify kernel color grade (extra-light, light, light amber, or amber) and size (halves vs. pieces percentage). Extra-light and light grades command premium prices in retail and confectionery channels. Importers should request color-grade certificates and moisture analysis from suppliers, as off-grade lots may be rejected or repriced significantly at destination.
Shelled walnuts from China have been subject to Section 301 tariffs, which can materially affect landed cost for that origin. Importers sourcing from China should confirm current Section 301 applicability and any exclusion orders with a licensed customs broker before placing orders.
