Import Tips
• Confirm IQF processing maintains individual peas without agglomeration, documented via commercial invoice
• Include lab analysis if required, verifying moisture content typical for frozen peas (under 81%)
• Avoid common pitfall of entering as 'mixed vegetables' which shifts to 0710.80; declare pure peas only
