Import Tips

• 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
