Market
Raw peanuts in Japan are primarily an import-dependent commodity used for food processing and consumer retail, with domestic supply representing only a small share of circulating volume. Chiba Prefecture is the dominant domestic production area, accounting for most Japanese-grown peanuts, and positions local cultivars as premium domestic products. Market-access and continuity are strongly shaped by border controls under the Food Sanitation Act (import notification and risk-based inspection) and plant quarantine procedures. Food-safety management for mycotoxins (notably aflatoxins) is a critical determinant of clearance and commercial usability.
Market RoleImport-dependent consumer market (net importer)
Domestic RoleSmall domestic production (premium/local specialty) alongside large imported supply for processing and retail
Specification
Primary VarietyChiba-Handachi (千葉半立)
Secondary Variety
- Nakateyutaka (ナカテユタカ)
- Sato no Ka (郷の香)
- Q-nuts (Qなっつ)
- Oomasa-ri (おおまさり)
Physical Attributes
- Free from abnormal flavours/odours and live insects/mites (Codex)
- Control of visible mould, rancidity, and decay is part of basic quality acceptance (Codex)
Compositional Metrics
- Moisture maximum: 10% for peanuts in-pod; 9.0% for kernels (Codex)
Packaging
- Packaging should be sound, clean, dry, and free from insect infestation or fungal contamination (Codex)
- Examples of acceptable packing materials include new clean jute bags, tinplate containers, and plastic or paper boxes/bags (Codex)
- For sacks: clean, sturdy, and strongly sewn or sealed (Codex)
Supply Chain
Value Chain
- Export-country drying/shelling and lot segregation → containerized sea shipment → Japan importer → MHLW quarantine station import notification/document examination (and inspection when applicable) → plant quarantine procedures for plant products → customs clearance → storage/processing/distribution
Temperature
- Keep lots dry and protected from humidity to reduce mould growth and quality loss; moisture control is a core acceptance factor for raw peanuts (Codex).
Atmosphere Control
- Ventilation and condensation control in containers support moisture management and help limit mould risk during sea transit.
Shelf Life
- Quality degradation risk is driven by fat oxidation and poor storage; airtight and cool storage is recommended for maintaining flavor in domestic guidance (Chiba Prefecture).

Transport ModeSea
Risks
Food Safety HighAflatoxin risk is a deal-breaker for raw peanuts entering Japan: MHLW imported-food controls include total aflatoxin as an inspection item for peanuts/peanut-containing foods, and violation cases show shipments can be directed to abandonment or return when aflatoxin is detected.Implement aflatoxin prevention and verification (field drying, moisture control, segregation by lot, accredited pre-shipment testing for total aflatoxins) and align sampling/COA practices with buyer and MHLW expectations.
Regulatory Compliance HighCommercial imports cannot be used for sale or business in Japan without an import notification under the Food Sanitation Act; non-compliance at notification/document review can stop distribution and trigger corrective actions at the quarantine station.Prepare the MHLW import notification with complete manufacturer, process, ingredient/additive, and origin details; use pre-checks with the receiving customs broker/quarantine station when first importing or changing suppliers.
Phytosanitary MediumPlant quarantine non-compliance (e.g., missing phytosanitary certificate where required, or failure to undergo import inspection) can lead to disposal, delay, or penalties under Japan's plant protection framework.Confirm the applicable plant quarantine classification for the specific raw peanut form (in-shell/shelled/seed) and ensure the exporting-country authority issues the phytosanitary certificate required for inspection.
Tariff Classification MediumMisclassification or misunderstanding of quota/use conditions for raw peanuts can materially change duty rates and clearance requirements in Japan, particularly where pooled quota statistical codes apply.Obtain a classification confirmation/advance ruling workflow and align HS/statistical code, quota status, and intended-use documentation with customs broker guidance before shipment.
Logistics MediumSea freight exposes raw peanuts to moisture/condensation risk during transit and storage; moisture control failures increase mould and aflatoxin risk and can lead to rejection or quality claims.Use moisture-controlled packing, container desiccants where appropriate, and loading practices that reduce condensation risk; verify moisture against Codex-style limits and buyer specs before stuffing containers.
FAQ
Why is aflatoxin the biggest trade-stopper risk for raw peanuts into Japan?Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) includes total aflatoxin as an inspection item for peanuts/peanut-containing foods under its imported food controls, and MHLW violation records show peanut shipments have been directed to abandonment or return when aflatoxin was detected.
What are the core entry documents/procedures for commercial raw peanut imports into Japan?For food imports intended for sale or business use, MHLW requires an Import Notification (Notification Form for Importation of Foods, etc.) submitted to an MHLW quarantine station. For plant quarantine procedures, Japan’s Plant Protection Stations indicate that plant products generally require import inspection and a phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting-country government, depending on the product’s quarantine classification.
How dependent is Japan on imported peanuts versus domestic supply?Chiba Prefecture states that about 90% of the circulating peanut volume in Japan is foreign-sourced and domestic peanuts are about 10%, with roughly 80% of domestic production coming from Chiba Prefecture.
