No Salt Added Canned Black-Eyed Peas from Japan
No Salt Added Canned Black-Eyed Peas are shelled black-eye cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) packed in water without added salt, preserved by heat sterilization rather than vinegar or acetic acid. They are not frozen and do not fall under heading 20.06, making them 'other' shelled beans of the Vigna genus under tariff item 2005.51.90. This low-sodium product suits health-conscious consumers seeking a convenient, ready-to-use legume.

Import Tips
• Ensure the product label clearly states 'no salt added' and the ingredient list contains only black-eyed peas and water to avoid reclassification
• Verify the canning process does not involve vinegar or acetic acid, as that would shift the tariff item
• Keep records of the production method in case CBSA requests verification
