Import Tips
• Label clearly as 'fresh or chilled' with harvest date to distinguish from dried or frozen products
• Comply with USDA APHIS import requirements for leguminous pods, including inspection for quarantine pests
• Watch for reclassification if pods are split or peas shelled prior to entry, potentially affecting quota applicability
