Import Tips

• Verify eligibility under additional U.S. note 2 quota provisions with USDA documentation before entry to avoid rejection

• Provide certificates of origin confirming peanut type and in-shell status; common pitfall is misclassifying shelled peanuts

• Ensure aflatoxin testing compliance as peanuts are high-risk; retain lab reports for CBP review
