Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the beans are fully shelled and dried prior to canning to avoid misclassification under fresh or in-shell codes

Provide lab analysis confirming no vinegar or acetic acid used in preservation, as this shifts to heading 2001

Ensure labeling specifies 'canned dried' to distinguish from rehydrated products that may fall under other subheadings
