Import Tips
• Verify nuts are fresh or dried but untreated beyond natural drying; chemical preservation moves them to Chapter 08 heading 0812
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like pecan weevils, required for USDA clearance
• Declare accurate moisture content to avoid reclassification as provisionally preserved goods
