Import Tips
• Document quota usage with Customs via entry summary; track annual limits to prevent over-quota penalties
• Label accurately as 'peanut butter' per FDA rules, disclosing any stabilizers to avoid reclassification
• Test for aflatoxin levels, a common pitfall in peanut imports leading to FDA detentions
