Import Tips & Compliance

Label clearly as 'unshelled' or 'in pods' on invoices; customs may inspect to confirm against shelled peas in same subheading

Seasonal restriction applies—track calendar closely; late entries incur higher duties under 0710.29.50.00

Avoid blending with dried peas in shipment; separate documentation prevents reclassification to Chapter 07 dried vegetables
