Import Tips

Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting countries to comply with USDA APHIS import regulations for fresh vegetables

Ensure beans are chilled below 7°C during transport to maintain 'fresh or chilled' status and avoid reclassification as frozen

Declare exact variety as Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis on entry documents to prevent misclassification as other beans
