Import Tips

• Verify the peas are frozen without vinegar or acetic acid preservation to confirm HTS 2004.90.85.60 classification

• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates to meet FDA and USDA import requirements for frozen vegetables

• Avoid misclassification as canned peas (2005.40) by ensuring no heat processing beyond blanching for freezing
