If hybrid seed peas, not for consumption

If non-sugar snap pea varieties in season
Only sugar snaps get 0708.10.20.40; other fresh peas like garden peas use different seasonal codes.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Maintain 0-4°C temperature logs; deviations may reclassify as provisionally preserved under 0711
• Use FDA Prior Notice for agri products; bulk shipments need detailed harvest/origin docs
• Avoid any preservative solutions; even sulfur water disqualifies from fresh 0708 status
