Import Tips
• Obtain certificate of quantity from USDA for U.S
• Note 2 quota eligibility and ensure entry documentation specifies 'for use as oil stock'
• Verify peanuts are not roasted/cooked via lab testing; common pitfall is misclassification as food-grade peanuts
• Provide end-use verification to CBP; diversion to other uses may trigger penalties
