Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify beans are shelled black-eye cowpeas (Vigna spp.) and preserved without vinegar; provide botanical certification if requested by customs
• Ensure labeling complies with FDA food standards, including net weight, ingredients, and country of origin
• Avoid misclassification as pickled products (2005.59) by confirming no acetic acid content; common pitfall is inadequate drainage weight documentation
