Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'for oil stock only' with supporting affidavits to satisfy CBP verification
• Ensure blanching is dry-process certified; wet-blanched peanuts classify differently under 1202.42.25
• Monitor annual import quotas under note 2; excess enters at higher duty rates in other subheadings
