Import Tips

• 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)
