Import Tips
• For bulk shipments, ensure container fumigation records to meet USDA APHIS entry requirements
• Document kernel integrity (not excessively broken) to stay in shelled dry-blanched; splits may need separate entry
• Avoid commingling with roasted lots at origin to prevent contamination and reclassification
