Import Tips

• Verify compliance with additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 12; provide certification that peanuts are for oil stock use only

• Include documentation proving dry-blanched status and Runner variety to avoid reclassification; common pitfall is moisture content exceeding limits

• Obtain import license if subject to annual peanut import quotas; declare exact end use to prevent diversion penalties
