Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls within May 1 to August 31 to qualify for this tariff line; otherwise, use 0713.39.29
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to confirm they are dried, shelled Phaseolus beans unfit for immediate consumption
• Avoid misclassification by ensuring beans are not further processed like canned or cooked, which shifts to Chapter 20
