Import Tips
• Verify eligibility under additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 12 for TRQ entry; obtain license from USDA FAS before shipment
• Provide certificate of origin and peanut type verification; common pitfall is misclassifying variety leading to over-quota duties
• Ensure aflatoxin testing compliance under FDA import requirements for all peanut products
