Import Tips
• Verify processing (e.g
• blanching or roasting) to confirm classification under 2008, not raw nuts in 0802; provide processing certificates
• Include FDA prior notice and facility registration for nuts due to allergen and contamination risks
• Avoid misdeclaration as mixtures if only almonds to prevent reclassification and penalties
