Import Tips
• Document heirloom status if claiming organic; reference USDA certified organic standards per statistical note
• Avoid splitting during harvest/transport; split beans may reclassify under different processing subheadings
• Test for aflatoxin levels pre-shipment; legumes prone to contamination voids entry
