Import Tips & Compliance
• The growing method (hydroponic) does not change the tariff classification; ensure the product is fresh or chilled and unshelled
• Keep records of the cultivation method if claiming organic or premium status for marketing, but this is not required for CBSA
• Verify that the peas are not treated with preservatives, which would alter the heading
