Import Tips

• Verify the peas are solely frozen after steaming/boiling and unsuitable for immediate consumption to meet Chapter 7 heading 0710 criteria; provide processing certificates

• Ensure accurate labeling of country of origin and leguminous content; common pitfall is misclassifying as fresh (0708) if not properly frozen

• Obtain phytosanitary certificates from exporting country to comply with USDA import regulations for frozen vegetables
