Import Tips
• Include certificates of analysis showing moisture content consistent with 'dried' status to prevent reclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like moisture addition during canning, which could move it to non-dried subheadings
• Check for varietal identification as Phaseolus or Vigna to confirm eligibility under this bean-specific code
