Import Tips
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'pinto' variety and speckled description for CBP verification
• Test for moisture content <14% to meet import standards; excess risks mold claims and rejection
• Avoid splitting during handling—split beans reclassify under 0713.10, higher processing level
