Frozen Green Peas from Germany

Frozen green peas (Pisum sativum) are shelled leguminous vegetables that have been blanched and quick-frozen to preserve freshness. They fall under HTS 0710.21.20.00 when imported between July 1 and September 30 due to seasonal tariff provisions for peas outside peak U.S. production. These peas remain uncooked or only steamed/boiled prior to freezing, suitable for retail or food service use.
