• Verify entry aligns with U.S
• Note 2 quota quantities; excess may require different subheading or higher duties
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming no roasting/cooking and pest-free status for USDA clearance
• Label shipments clearly as 'raw in-shell peanuts' to avoid misclassification as shelled (1202.42) or prepared goods
