Import Tips
• Label shipments clearly as 'for oil extraction only' and include lab analysis showing low moisture content typical of dry blanching
• Verify phytosanitary certificates address aflatoxin levels, critical for agricultural imports under Chapter 12
• Avoid mixing with food-grade peanuts in same container to prevent customs splitting shipments into different HTS codes
