Import Tips
• Verify blanching method is dry (no water or oil) via processing certificates to confirm HTS 1202.42.20.40 classification
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA import requirements for raw peanuts and prevent aflatoxin issues
• Label moisture content accurately, as exceeding limits may reclassify to unshelled or in-shell categories
