They fall under HTS 2005.40.00.00 as peas prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid, not frozen, and not products of heading 2006. This classification applies to standard retail-packed canned peas without added vinegar.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify peas are whole or intact as per chapter notes; mashed peas may qualify as homogenized under 2005.10 if for infant use in ≤250g containers
• Ensure labeling includes country of origin, net weight, and ingredients; provide commercial invoice detailing preservation method (e.g
• brine)
• Watch for contamination risks—FDA prior notice required; avoid misclassification as frozen (0710) or pickled (2005.40 but vinegar-based)
