Import Tips

• Verify entry timing against USDA quota periods for dried beans to avoid misclassification into quota-limited subheadings

• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to confirm pest-free status and compliance with FDA food safety standards

• Label packages with country of origin, lot number, and net weight; watch for common pitfalls like moisture content exceeding 14% which may trigger rejection
