Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify certificate of origin and ensure lentils are fully dried (moisture <14%) to avoid reclassification as fresh under Chapter 07
• Provide lab analysis for purity and absence of contaminants; common pitfall is mold from improper storage during transit
• Check quota status via USDA reports; over-quota entries trigger this higher duty subheading
