Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases; peanuts are high-risk for aflatoxin contamination
• Declare exact variety and shell status accurately to prevent shifts to roasted (2008) or sowing seeds (1202.41.20)
• Test for moisture content below 9% to comply with USDA import standards and avoid spoilage claims
