Import Tips
• Verify botanical classification as Vigna spp. or Phaseolus spp. with phytosanitary certificates to avoid misclassification
• Ensure cold chain maintenance below 7°C during transport to qualify as 'fresh or chilled' and prevent duty shifts to dried categories
• Declare exact variety and shelled/unshelled status; common pitfall is reclassifying frozen pods under Chapter 07 exclusions
