Dried Baby Lima Beans (Large Variety) from Mexico
These are dried, shelled baby lima beans of a larger cultivar (Phaseolus lunatus), not qualifying as the smallest 'baby' type, imported during the May-August quota. Classified in HTS 0713.39.21.40 as 'other lima beans' since they are simply dried and shelled without further processing.

Import Tips
• Use precise varietal naming in entry docs to distinguish from true baby limas (0713.39.21.20); ambiguity leads to audits
• Store in cool, dry conditions post-import to prevent mold; declare moisture content under 14% for compliance
• Check for quota fill status via USDA reports before shipping to avoid unexpected out-of-quota duties
