Import Tips
• Verify moisture content below 14% to qualify as 'dried' and avoid reclassification under fresh vegetables (Chapter 7)
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases, as required for leguminous vegetables
• Label with country of origin and lot numbers to comply with FDA food safety standards and prevent common inspection delays
