Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls between May 1 and August 31 to match this HTS; mis-timing requires different code
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests or diseases, as required for leguminous vegetables
• Label packages with country of origin, lot number, and 'product of [country]' to avoid FDA detention
