Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify dry-blanching process documentation to confirm no moisture used, distinguishing from water-blanched under 1202.42.40
• Ensure aflatoxin testing certificates as peanuts are prone to contamination; U.S
• FDA requires levels below 20 ppb
• Label clearly as 'not roasted or cooked' to prevent reclassification into cooked peanut headings like 2008
