Import Tips
• Ensure supplier provides certificates of analysis for moisture content to confirm frozen state integrity
• Use proper cold chain documentation to prevent thawing/refreezing, which could lead to rejection at customs
• Label as 'frozen garbanzo beans' to differentiate from dried chickpeas under 0713.20
