Import Tips
• Label packages clearly with scientific name (Phaseolus spp.) and confirm no size reduction to comply with 'not reduced in size' criteria
• Conduct residue testing for pesticides as lima beans are prone to agricultural chemical imports restrictions
• Avoid mixing with other legumes in shipments to prevent commingling and reclassification issues
