Import Tips
• Verify entry timing against USDA quota periods to ensure correct classification under 0713.39.4160 for non-quota white beans
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to meet FDA and USDA import requirements for dried legumes
• Avoid misclassification by confirming moisture content below 14% to qualify as dried, not provisionally preserved
