Import Tips
• Provide roasting certificates to distinguish from raw beans and confirm no shell removal occurred
• Check for mold or insect infestation; CBP may require FDA prior notice for food safety
• Bulk packaging preferred; retail-packed beans risk reclassification under Chapter 18 preparations
