Import Tips
• Verify soybeans are not certified for sowing to avoid reclassification under 1201.10; provide processing end-use documentation
• Include phytosanitary certificates confirming freedom from pests like soybean cyst nematode, a common U.S. import requirement
• Declare moisture content accurately (typically under 13%) to prevent mold claims and duty disputes
