Import Tips
• Obtain APHIS import permit and ensure seed purity tests to differentiate from food-grade peas if challenged
• Declare intended use as 'for sowing' but note HTS defaults to food classification unless proven otherwise
• Avoid mixed shipments with food peas to prevent contamination and dual-use classification issues
