Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls between May 1 and August 31 to qualify for this tariff line; otherwise, use 0713.39.2110 or similar
• Provide certificate of origin and phytosanitary certificate to confirm pest-free status and varietal purity as Great Northern
• Avoid misdeclaration as split or skinned beans, which shift to other subheadings; ensure beans are whole and unshelled beyond basic pod removal
