About this product
Nigeria is a large RCN exporter from its middle belt and south-west, shipping through Lagos.
Commtora sources raw cashew nuts (rcn) from Kogi, Oyo & Enugu, Nigeria, specified by out-turn (KOR), nut count and moisture, and prices every offer as a landed cost to your port — FOB origin, freight, import duty for your market where due, and fees — against independent references where they exist. Payment terms and documents are agreed per contract.
Grades & specifications
KOR (e.g. 46–48, 48–50, 50+ lbs/80 kg), nut count (e.g. 180–200 per kg), moisture (≤ 10 %), defectives and foreign matter — agreed on a joint pre-shipment cutting test.
How Commtora prices it
We compare against independent references for your market — such as customs import statistics where they exist — add freight, import duty for your market and fees to your port, and quote an origin offer on written terms.
Counterparty checks
West African RCN trade involves many intermediaries and export-tax regimes that change by season; we run counterparty and document checks per contract, and inspection is available on request.
Frequently asked questions
What is KOR in raw cashew nuts?
Kernel Out-turn Ratio: the pounds of kernel expected from an 80 kg bag of raw nuts. Each pound of KOR moves the price materially, so it is agreed on a sample test.
What is the HS code for raw cashew nuts (rcn)?
HS 0801.31 at six digits. The full tariff line and the duty depend on your market — confirm both for your import.
