Import Tips
• Obtain certification from supplier confirming peanuts are dry-blanched and designated for oil extraction to meet 'for use as oil stock' requirement
• Provide end-use documentation like contracts with oil processors to avoid reclassification during customs review
• Ensure no roasting or cooking has occurred; common pitfall is residual heat treatment leading to Chapter 20 classification
