Import Tips
• Test for varietal purity to distinguish from split or small types, avoiding misclassification penalties
• Use ventilated containers to prevent mold during transit, maintaining 'dried' status
• Declare net weight accurately, as statistical notes emphasize shelled weight for leguminous imports
