Import Tips
• Ensure beans are fully shelled with no pods remaining, as unshelled would classify under fresh vegetable headings
• Use ISF filings early for legume shipments to avoid delays from agricultural inspections
• Monitor for foreign matter; over 1% impurities can lead to rejection or reclassification
