Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country to prove nuts are pest-free and meet USDA APHIS import standards
• Declare exact weight and origin; misdeclaration of 'fresh vs dried' can trigger reclassification or penalties
• Store below 5°C upon arrival to prevent mold; inspect shells for damage during customs exam
