Import Tips

• Confirm entry date falls between May 1 and August 31 to qualify for this quota tariff rate; late entries shift to higher out-of-quota codes

• Provide phytosanitary certificate proving beans are free from pests like bruchid beetles, common in legume imports

• Declare exact variety and weight; misclassification as baby lima beans could trigger re-assessment under 0713.39.21.20
