Import Tips
• Verify entry date against quota periods (typically July-June) to confirm 0713.33.40.90 applicability; use CBP's agricultural quota database
• Provide phytosanitary certificates proving beans are free from pests like bruchid beetles, common in leguminous imports
• Label with country of origin and lot codes; avoid misclassification as in-quota (lower duty) by documenting timing precisely
