Import Tips
• Confirm botanical classification as Phaseolus vulgaris via supplier documentation to avoid reclassification to other bean subheadings
• Conduct moisture testing (max 14%) before shipment to meet dried vegetable standards and prevent mold claims at entry
• Use FDA prior notice for food imports and check for fumigation requirements based on origin country
