Japan: Japan Lifts Mandatory Aflatoxin Testing on Compliant US Almonds
On April 1, 2025, Japan formally lifted the mandatory aflatoxin testing requirements on U.S. almonds compliant with the new almond export protocol. Henceforth, U.S. almonds being exported to Japan that conform to the requirements of the new U.S.-Japan Almond Export Protocol will be waived from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare's ordered-inspection upon arrival. In 2024, U.S. almond (HS 0802.11 and 0802.12) exports to Japan were valued at $193 million.
