Import Tips

Verify certification under general note 15 for quota eligibility and preferential duty rates; submit required documentation at entry

Confirm peanuts are dry-blanched (peroxides removed without oil) and intended solely for oil stock to avoid reclassification

Provide end-use verification like contracts from oil processors to prevent audits on diversion from oil production
