Import Tips
• Document splitting process to confirm it doesn't constitute 'further preparation' pushing into Chapter 11
• Use moisture content tests (<14%) to prove 'dried' status per chapter notes on preservation
• Check for varietal purity to distinguish from larger butter beans under other suffixes
