Import Tips

• Conduct lab tests for pesticide residues, as lentils often face strict MRL (maximum residue level) checks

• Use ventilated containers to prevent mold during transit, ensuring they remain unsuitable for immediate consumption

• Declare exact varietal (e.g

• Laird or Petite Crimson) to aid customs in confirming 'other lentils' status
