Last updated: April 2026 dataPeanut butter and paste — the commercially dominant products under this heading — are split across multiple 10-digit lines that reflect tariff-rate-quota treatment: quota-eligible peanut butter (2008110500) and over-quota or non-TRQ peanut butter (2008111000 and 2008111500) carry different effective duty rates, making TRQ management a central concern for importers. Mexico and Canada, both USMCA partners, lead supply, with Argentina, India, and China also significant sources. Whole and processed peanuts beyond butter and paste are covered by additional lines (2008114600, 2008116100, 2008119100). FDA regulates peanut butter under a standard of identity requiring minimum peanut content, and all peanut product shipments are subject to FDA food facility registration and potential aflatoxin sampling.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Peanut butter and paste subject to the TRQ is classified under 2008110500 when the shipment falls within the annual quota allocation. Once the quota fills, additional imports are classified under the over-quota lines (2008111000 or 2008111500) at a higher duty rate. Quota is administered by CBP, and importers must file the appropriate quota entry type and monitor fill levels closely, particularly late in the quota year when allocations tighten.
FDA may sample imported peanut and peanut product shipments for aflatoxin contamination as part of its import alert and surveillance programs. Shipments from origins with a history of aflatoxin findings may be subject to automatic detention, requiring the importer to provide laboratory testing results demonstrating compliance before release. Importers should request aflatoxin certificates of analysis from suppliers and maintain them as part of their import records. Consult a licensed customs broker or regulatory counsel regarding current FDA import alert status for specific origins.
