Import Tips
• Verify nuts are shelled and roasted but free of added sugar to qualify under 2008.19.10.20; provide roasting process documentation
• Include phytosanitary certificates from origin to meet USDA import requirements for tree nuts
• Label net weight and country of origin clearly to avoid CBP reclassification as mixtures
