Import Tips
• Obtain phytosanitary certificates confirming fresh/chilled condition and pest-free status from exporting country
• Verify pod maturity to avoid reclassification under pea subheadings like 0708.10; snow peas must have edible immature pods
• Maintain cold chain documentation (below 7°C) to prove 'chilled' status and prevent duty-free fresh produce exemptions
