Oilseeds (Except Soybean) imports of $48.4M in August 2026 ran 26% below the year-to-date monthly average of $65.6M.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCanola, sunflower, flaxseed, and other non-soybean oilseeds at this six-digit NAICS level are widely traded inputs for the edible oil crushing industry and specialty food sectors. The diversity of species within this grouping means that phytosanitary risk profiles vary considerably — sesame seed, for example, has been a recurring subject of FDA import alerts related to Salmonella contamination, adding a food-safety dimension absent from purely industrial oilseeds. USDA APHIS phytosanitary certificates are required for all oilseed imports, and FDA may exercise oversight when seeds are destined for food use. Accurate species identification on import documentation is essential to avoid misclassification and admissibility delays.

FDA has issued import alerts for sesame seeds from certain origins due to repeated findings of Salmonella contamination. Shipments from affected origins may be subject to detention without physical examination (DWPE), requiring the importer to demonstrate compliance through independent laboratory testing before FDA will release the goods.
Not always. Oilseeds destined for human food use are subject to FDA food safety oversight in addition to USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements, while those destined solely for industrial crushing or non-food use primarily require APHIS clearance. Declaring end use accurately on entry documentation helps avoid unnecessary holds.
