Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within May 1 to August 31 to qualify under this seasonal HTS code; otherwise, use 0713.33.2080
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to confirm pest-free status and varietal purity for Phaseolus vulgaris
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as kidney beans, which could shift classification; ensure moisture content below 14% for dried status
