Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'raw in-shell peanuts not for sowing' to distinguish from seed imports
• Comply with APHIS requirements for foreign soil removal from shells to prevent quarantine issues
• Avoid partial shelling during handling, as it could reclassify to shelled peanut codes
