We always used to make a point of buying a couple of kilo bags of macadamia nuts when we were in Patzcuaro.
Monday morning, there was a truck parked diagonally across the street from Tamales Any, with kilo bags of them sitting on the roof of the truck. A bag cost 120 pesos! They are excellent! We found this video that shows the easiest way to crack them open, and it works!!!

Pretty good deal for 120/kg. I would love to buy one bag to bring home

Just don't get caught. They aren't legal to take into the US.

Really? Now you got me wondering for Canada. I will have to research this. I wonder why in the US as they are being sold in the US as well as in Canada.

All about regulated inspections on import. Same thing for all non-pasteurized food products. They can be imported and sold if they go through the right regulatory process for inspection for pests, safety, etc. But you can't do that just by going through customs.
Watch out for the little dogs, often beagles, at baggage claim. That's where they get ya. Thankfully in the US, pleading ignorance usually gets you out of it with a lecture but unscathed.

I was just in Uruapan and they are everywhere. I guess they grow in this area?

Online they talk about growing in the Puebla area. We have seen orchards in Michoacan.
