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
