Import Tips
• Provide manufacturing process description showing peanuts/peanut butter integration for Customs verification
• Ensure retail-ready packaging (e.g
• consumer tins) to qualify; bulk slabs risk reclassification
• Test for soluble non-sugar solids; exceeding limits excludes from Chapter 17 per notes
