Dried Shelled Peas (Pisum sativum), Including Seed

Peas classified as seeds of a kind used for sowing (0713101000) require a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of the exporting country, and USDA APHIS may impose additional permit or treatment requirements depending on origin. Non-seed peas for food use are subject to FDA prior notice and food facility registration but do not require an APHIS import permit.

The US schedule includes a dedicated line (0713104005) for certified-organic yellow peas, separate from the conventional yellow pea lines. To use this line, the importer must hold valid USDA National Organic Program certification documentation for both the foreign producer and the product lot. Using the organic line without proper certification can trigger CBP penalties and NOP compliance action.
