Import Tips
• Verify varietal purity with certificates of analysis to confirm classification as Austrian winter peas, avoiding misclassification as generic peas
• Ensure phytosanitary certificates from origin country to meet USDA import requirements for dried legumes
• Declare exact moisture content (typically under 14%) to prevent reclassification as provisionally preserved under heading 0711
