Importers of Groundnut Oil-Cake & Other Solid Residues paid $64K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 10% on $630K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Groundnut Oil-Cake & Other Solid Residues imports of $630K in April 2026 ran 52% above the year-to-date monthly average of $415K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPeanut meal — the solid residue after oil extraction from groundnuts — is a moderately traded protein feed ingredient, though its use is constrained by the risk of aflatoxin contamination, which is subject to strict FDA action levels for both human food and animal feed applications. Solvent-extracted groundnut meal typically contains 45–50% crude protein, making it competitive with soybean meal in markets where it is available, but mycotoxin testing at origin and destination is a non-negotiable step in responsible procurement. FDA oversight applies to imported groundnut meal intended for food or feed use, and shipments may be detained if aflatoxin levels exceed established thresholds.

FDA enforces action levels for aflatoxin in groundnut-derived products for both human food and animal feed. Importers should obtain a mycotoxin certificate of analysis from an accredited laboratory at origin and be prepared for FDA sampling at the port of entry. Shipments exceeding FDA action levels are subject to refusal of admission, and a history of violations can trigger automatic detention for subsequent shipments from the same supplier.
Expeller-pressed groundnut cake retains residual oil — typically 6–12% fat — giving it higher energy density but shorter shelf life due to oxidative rancidity risk. Solvent-extracted meal is leaner (1–3% fat) and more shelf-stable, making it the preferred form for long ocean voyages. Contracts should specify the extraction method, residual fat content, and moisture limits to avoid disputes on arrival.
