Last updated: August 2026 dataRoasting transforms raw tree nuts and peanuts into finished consumer and foodservice products, and that processing step is the key distinction that separates this subcategory from raw or shelled nut imports classified elsewhere in the HTS schedule. Peanut butter specifically is subject to a tariff-rate quota under US trade law, making quota timing and fill rates a critical planning variable for importers. FDA regulates both roasted nuts and peanut butter as processed foods, requiring facility registration, Prior Notice, and — for peanut butter — compliance with FDA's standard of identity specifying minimum peanut content.

Peanut butter imports are subject to a TRQ that allows a specified volume to enter at a lower in-quota duty rate; quantities above that threshold face a significantly higher over-quota rate. Quota allocations are administered on a first-come, first-served or licensed basis depending on the applicable trade agreement. Importers should monitor quota fill levels closely and time shipments accordingly to avoid the over-quota rate.
FDA's standard of identity requires that a product labeled 'peanut butter' contain at least 90% peanuts by weight. Products with lower peanut content must be labeled as 'peanut spread' or similar. Shipments labeled as peanut butter that do not meet this standard can be refused entry or require relabeling under FDA supervision. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA regulatory specialist to confirm label compliance before importation.
