Shelled Virginia Peanuts Tariff-Rate Quota from Mexico
Shelled Virginia peanuts, not roasted or cooked, whether broken or whole, imported pursuant to the quantitative provisions described in additional U.S. note 2. These high-oleic variety peanuts qualify for lower in-quota duties and are commonly used in peanut butter production. The HTS places them distinctly under quota-controlled raw peanut imports.

Import Tips
• Pre-allocate quota via USDA; imports without license face suspension or higher over-quota tariffs
• Label shipments clearly as 'shelled, not roasted' to prevent misclassification during customs exam
• Monitor aflatoxin levels (<20 ppb) as common rejection reason; test at origin
