Import Tips
• Verify moisture content below 14% to qualify as 'dried' and avoid reclassification under fresh vegetables (Chapter 7)
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to meet USDA import requirements for lentils
• Label packs with varietal name and country of origin to prevent customs disputes on 'green lentils' subcategory
