Import Tips
• Obtain APHIS import permit for nuts from South America to prevent pest introduction like the Brazil nut weevil
• Document shelling process to prove 'fresh' status versus roasted, preventing shift to Chapter 20
• Watch for aflatoxin testing requirements; high-risk consignments face FDA detention without prior notice
