Import Tips

• Verify beans are fresh or chilled (not dried or frozen) with temperature logs to avoid reclassification under Chapter 07 exclusions

• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming genus Vigna and freedom from pests/quarantine issues common to legumes

• Label accurately as 'unshelled Vigna beans' to prevent misclassification as Phaseolus spp. under other subheadings
