Last updated: August 2026 dataPeanut seed intended for planting is classified separately from edible groundnuts and enters under a single 10-digit line (1202300000), reflecting its agricultural rather than food-processing end use. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply, and seed-quality documentation — including variety certification — is typically required to confirm the planting-seed classification at entry. Jamaica is the recorded leading supplier to the US under this heading, making it a narrow, specialized trade flow rather than a high-volume commodity stream. Importers misclassifying edible peanuts as seed may face reclassification and duty adjustments.

To support a planting-seed classification under 1202300000, importers should present variety certification, phytosanitary certificates, and commercial invoices that clearly state the seed's intended agricultural use. Without such documentation, CBP may reclassify the shipment under an edible-peanut heading, which carries different duty treatment.
Yes. USDA APHIS regulates the importation of plant seeds, including peanut seed, to prevent the introduction of plant pests and diseases. A phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization is required, and APHIS may impose additional permit or treatment requirements depending on origin.
