Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls outside May 1-August 31 to avoid quota tariffs; use absolute quotas if applicable
• Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming beans are free from pests like bruchid beetles common in legumes
• Label packages with country of origin, lot number, and moisture content (typically under 14%) to meet FDA import standards
