Import Tips
• Obtain fumigation certificates if shipped in bulk containers to prevent pest issues in leguminous imports
• Declare exact processing level (skinned/split) on commercial invoice to match HTS description precisely
• Watch for reclassification if skins are retained, potentially under unshelled dried beans (0713.33)
