Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If organic but entered outside July-Sept period
Organic statistical breakout exists but seasonal sugar snap code only applies in summer; otherwise general organic peas.
If dried pea flour or meal derived from sugar snaps
Dried and milled forms exclude from fresh Chapter 07, moving to Chapter 11 flours of leguminous vegetables.
If dried, not further prepared
Drying removes from fresh/chilled scope of 0708, classifying as dried leguminous vegetables in 0713.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide USDA or equivalent organic certificate referencing General Statistical Note 6 standards
• Test for pesticide residues; organic claims trigger CBP scrutiny during seasonal high-volume imports
• Use ventilated crates to maintain chill chain; spoilage voids organic status and incurs duties
