Import Tips
• Verify entry date against quota periods to confirm 0713.33.4030 applicability; mis-timing leads to reclassification
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to comply with USDA import regulations for legumes
• Ensure beans are free of contaminants; common pitfalls include moisture content exceeding 14% causing rejection
