The Brazilian Cashew Nut kernel's quality specifications are determined by the AFI (Association of Food Industries, New York). The latest adopted specifications are from October 1997 and can be obtained directly from the AFI at:

Association of Food Industries

P.O. Box 776
Matawan, NJ 07747
USA
Tel:+1 (908) 583 8188
Fax: +1 (908) 583 0798

The AFI also produces a specification for Brazil Nut Kernels. However, the UQS (Unified Quality Specification) is more commonly used by European importers.

The AFI does not have contract terms per se for tree nuts. European traders trade under the CENTA (Combined Edible Nut Trade Association, London)
