What to look for when sourcing shelled walnuts

Product specification

Walnuts are sold as halves, pieces or a mix, with color and size as key quality indicators. Start with how the kernels will be used, such as baking, snacking or further processing.

Kernel form

Specify halves, pieces or a combination, and agree the acceptable proportion of each in the shipment.

Size and color

Set the size range and color class (light, light amber or amber) that match your product's visual requirements.

Processing details

Confirm whether kernels are raw, dry-roasted, or oil-roasted, and specify any coating or flavoring.

Quality acceptance

Kernel quality is judged by appearance, texture, and flavor. Agree how samples will be assessed and linked to the final shipment.

Sensory assessment
Define the expected flavor (sweet, mild, no rancidity), and agree on unacceptable defects like rancid or off-notes.
Physical checks
Set limits for foreign material, broken kernels, and insect damage, and agree on moisture content tolerance.
Sampling and claims
Identify the offer sample, pre-shipment sample, and arrival sample. Keep a retained sample and agree on inspection and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Beyond the country name, understand the growing region and crop year. A single-origin lot and a mixed-origin blend require different traceability.

Geographic origin

Name the desired growing region or country, and confirm the crop year or harvest season.

Traceability

Request the orchard or processor lot identity, and how the supplier tracks the kernels from receipt to shipment.

Blend flexibility

For a consistent blend, define the acceptable range of origins and crop years that can be substituted without changing the flavor or appearance.

Commercial terms

Walnut offers vary by packaging and delivery basis. Compare quotes on the same net weight and delivery point to see the true cost.

Packaging: Confirm the package type (bags, cartons, bulk) and net weight per unit. Specify if you need vacuum packaging or nitrogen flushing.
Delivery basis: Agree on EXW at origin, FOB port, CIF destination, or delivered to your warehouse. Clarify who pays for freight and insurance.
Order terms: Match quantity, shipment period, and payment terms (letter of credit, advance, or open account) to your cash flow and risk profile.

Documentation & compliance

Documentation must align with the specific lot and destination. Confirm what is required for your shipment, not just what the supplier usually provides.

Commercial documents: Align invoice, packing list, transport document, and any phytosanitary or health certificate with the lot reference and weights.
Certification: For organic or other scheme-certified walnuts, verify the current scope and chain-of-custody documents for the lot.
Destination rules: Check if your destination requires a specific import permit, fumigation certificate, or pesticide residue testing. Ask the supplier to confirm they can provide these.

Supplier capability

A grower, sheller, trader, or packer may each control a different step. Establish who is responsible for the kernels you receive.

Processing and packing
Identify who shells, sorts, sizes, and packs the kernels, and who is accountable for quality failures.
Volume and consistency
Ask how the supplier maintains your size and color across crop years, and whether they can blend to meet your spec.
Logistics
Confirm minimum order quantities, lead time, and whether they can handle export documentation or destination storage.
