Import Tips
• Verify entry timing against quota periods; use 0713.39.4120 only for out-of-period or withdrawn consumption to avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates confirming Phaseolus vulgaris variety and dryness (moisture <14%)
• Label packages with varietal name and net weight; watch for common pitfalls like misidentification as navy beans leading to wrong subheading
