Import Tips
• Conduct moisture content testing (typically <12%) to confirm 'dried' status and prevent rejection as fresh produce
• Use FDA prior notice filing for food imports and ensure sulfur-free processing if claiming organic status
• Avoid common pitfall of mixing with other beans; precise botanical identification as Cajanus cajan is required
