What to look for when sourcing in-shell walnut

Product specification

In-shell walnuts vary by variety, size, and appearance, so set a clear brief before requesting quotes. Start with the intended use, such as retail sale or further processing.

Variety & form

Specify the variety (for example, Chandler or Hartley) and confirm you are buying in-shell walnuts, not shelled kernels. State whether you need natural or bleached shells.

Physical specification

Agree on size grading (such as minimum diameter or count per 50 kg), moisture content, and acceptable levels of defects like cracks, stains, or insect damage.

Lot or blend

Confirm whether you are buying a single orchard lot or a blended batch that meets a consistent size and appearance profile.

Quality acceptance

Walnut quality is judged by appearance, kernel fill, and condition. Agree how samples will be assessed and how they relate to the shipment.

Kernel assessment
Crack samples to check kernel color, fill, flavor, and absence of rancidity. Ask how the supplier grades kernels inside the shell.
Physical checks
Record shell integrity, size uniformity, moisture, and defect limits. Check for foreign material or shell damage that affects packing.
Acceptance & claims
Identify offer, pre-shipment, and arrival samples. Retain the approved sample and agree inspection responsibilities and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Origin affects flavor, shell characteristics, and supply timing. Define what traceability you need beyond the country name.

Traceability

Request the growing region, orchard or cooperative name, harvest year, and lot identity. Decide if you need single-origin or a mix of regions.

Crop & stock

Ask when the walnuts were harvested and dried, where they are stored, and whether they are available now or for future shipment.

Acceptable alternatives

For repeat orders, define which varieties or origins you can substitute without changing the appearance or shelf life.

Commercial terms

In-shell walnut offers vary by packaging, delivery, and payment. Compare the final cost on the same basis.

Price basis: Confirm whether the price is per metric ton or per bag, and whether it includes packaging, loading, and inland freight.
Delivery basis: Specify FOB at origin port, CIF at destination, or delivered to your warehouse. Align freight, insurance, and local charges.
Order terms: Match bag weight (often 25 kg or 50 kg), shipment period, payment terms, and quote validity. Stock availability differs by season.

Documentation & compliance

Check documentation before committing to shipment. The evidence needs to cover the lot you are buying, not just the supplier's business.

Shipment documents: Align lot references, weights, and entities across the invoice, packing list, transport document, and any phytosanitary or origin certificates.
Certification: For organic or other scheme-certified walnuts, check the current scope and transaction certificates required for the lot.
Destination rules: For imports to regions like the EU, confirm plant health, pesticide residue, and due diligence obligations, and ask for the required traceability data.

Supplier capability

A grower, processor, or exporter may handle different parts of the purchase. Establish who is accountable for your lot.

Processing
Identify who handles drying, cleaning, grading, and packing, and who resolves a sample or shipment quality failure.
Repeat supply
Ask how the supplier maintains size and quality across harvest years and which replacement lots it can offer.
Order fit
Confirm minimum shipment, sample provision, and export documentation. For smaller volumes, ask about consolidation or warehouse stock.
