Last updated: August 2026 dataPeanuts — also traded as groundnuts — occupy a unique position in US agricultural policy, historically supported by marketing quotas and now subject to USDA loan rate programs that influence both domestic pricing and import competitiveness. The US schedule distinguishes peanuts by end use (edible, seed, crushing), and imports face tariff-rate quota treatment that sharply raises duties above quota thresholds. Buyers sourcing shelled or in-shell peanuts for food manufacturing should verify TRQ status and FDA prior notice requirements, as peanuts destined for human consumption are subject to FDA food safety oversight including allergen labeling rules.

Edible-grade peanuts meet size, moisture, and aflatoxin standards for direct human consumption or food manufacturing, while crushing-grade peanuts are destined for oil extraction. The distinction affects both USDA program eligibility and the applicable HTS subheading, which in turn determines TRQ exposure and duty rates.
Yes. Peanuts entering the US for human consumption are subject to FDA oversight, including prior notice of importation and compliance with food safety and aflatoxin tolerance standards. Importers should also be aware that peanuts are a major food allergen under US labeling law, affecting downstream product compliance.
