Import Tips
• Verify phytosanitary certificates confirming fresh/chilled state and freedom from pests, as required for Chapter 7 produce
• Avoid misclassification as dried peas (0713); provide harvest date and temperature logs to prove 'fresh or chilled' status
• Label clearly as unshelled pigeon peas to match 'other' subheading; use refrigerated containers below 7°C during transit
