Import Tips
• Provide detailed variety documentation; cranberry beans often mistaken for limas, risking reclassification
• Comply with USDA APHIS import permits for Phaseolus spp. to ensure pest-free status
• Avoid bulk packaging that implies processing; retail-ready chilled packs maintain fresh classification
