Import Tips
• Verify peas are fresh or chilled (not frozen) and maintain cold chain to avoid reclassification under Chapter 07 frozen provisions
• Provide phytosanitary certificates confirming no pests/diseases; declare volume weight accurately for podded peas
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as green peas, which could shift to other subheadings with different rates
