Import Tips
• Document the extent of skinning to confirm it remains 'shelled, whether or not skinned' without further processing
• Use ventilated containers to prevent condensation and ensure beans stay dry during ocean freight
• Declare exact variety and processing level on commercial invoice to avoid CBP reclassification to split beans
