Import Tips
• Ensure pods remain intact and beans viable—damaged pods may be deemed unfit and reclassified
• Obtain import permits for legumes from USDA APHIS if from regions with pest risks like bean pod borers
• Label clearly as 'lima beans, Phaseolus spp.' to avoid confusion with cowpeas or other vigna species
