Last updated: August 2026 dataGround from dried citrus, bananas, apples, pears, peaches, berries, and non-oil nuts, fruit and nut flours and powders serve as natural flavoring agents, colorants, and functional ingredients in confectionery, bakery, beverage, and nutraceutical applications. The moisture content, particle size, and sugar concentration of these powders vary significantly by source fruit, affecting shelf stability and processing behavior — factors that should be captured in supplier certificates of analysis. FDA governs admissibility of these food ingredients at US ports of entry. Admissibility and classification are complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered importer of record.

Oil nuts such as coconuts, peanuts, and tree nuts with high fat content (e.g., macadamia, Brazil nuts) are classified under separate headings related to oilseeds and oil-bearing materials. This heading covers flours and powders from nuts that are not primarily valued for their oil content — such as chestnuts — as well as from the broad range of fruits listed. Importers should confirm with their customs broker that the specific nut or fruit source falls within the correct classification before filing.
Fruit powders are highly hygroscopic and prone to caking, oxidation, and microbial growth if moisture barriers are inadequate. Commercial shipments typically require nitrogen-flushed, moisture-barrier packaging with desiccants, and temperature-controlled storage during transit. Importers should request water activity (Aw) and moisture content data from suppliers, as FDA may examine these products for compliance with food safety standards, particularly for powders with high residual sugar content.
