Import Tips
• Verify peanut content exceeds threshold via lab analysis to confirm 1905 classification; mislabeling risks reclassification
• Include FDA prior notice and facility registration; frozen state requires cold chain documentation to avoid spoilage claims
• Watch for allergen declarations—peanuts trigger strict labeling under FSMA; common pitfall is incomplete COA from supplier
