Import Tips & Compliance
ā¢ Include fumigation certificate if from pest-prone regions; USDA requires it for Asian chestnut species
ā¢ Test for aflatoxin levels mandatory for all tree nuts; levels over 20 ppb trigger rejection
ā¢ Declare as 'dried' only if processing records show intentional dehydration, not just natural moisture loss
