Import Tips
• Verify peanut content exceeds de minimis levels with lab testing to confirm classification under 1905.32.0041
• Include allergen labeling documentation per FDA rules to avoid CBP holds at entry
• Watch for misclassification as plain wafers (1905.31); specify peanut ingredients in invoices
