Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within May 1 to August 31 to qualify for this tariff line; otherwise, use 0713.33.2010
• Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming freedom from pests like bruchid beetles, common in legume imports
• Include FDA Prior Notice and ensure beans meet moisture content under 14% to avoid reclassification as provisionally preserved
