Import Tips
• Conduct lab tests for pesticide residues as peas are often scrutinized under FDA import alerts
• Use ventilated containers to prevent mold during transit; improper storage can lead to rejection
• Declare exact variety (Pisum sativum) on invoices to distinguish from other legumes like lentils
