Import Tips
• Ensure the product is declared as peanut butter/paste and not as a food preparation, which could fall under other chapters
• For commercial imports, verify if a tariff rate quota (TRQ) applies; imports without a quota allocation or permit pay the higher over access commitment rate
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing peanut content and salt levels to support classification
