Import Tips
• Specify 'unshelled' on entry docs if pods intact; shelled sugar snap peas may require separate verification
• Ensure blanching time records to prove preservation method aligns with Chapter 7 uncooked definition
• Watch for reclassification if pods are edible and marketed as such, potentially overlapping with fresh produce notes
