Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls July 1-Sept 30; off-season shifts to general pea codes like 0708.10.2000
• Obtain phytosanitary certificate confirming pest-free status and proper chilling to avoid spoilage claims
• Label as 'sugar snap peas' precisely; mislabeling as snow peas risks reclassification and penalties
