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
