Dried Shelled Peas, Including Seed

To use the certified-organic line (0713104005), importers must provide documentation demonstrating USDA National Organic Program equivalency or certification, typically including a valid organic certificate issued by an accredited certifying agent and a certificate of conformity. Without this documentation, the shipment defaults to the conventional yellow pea line (0713104015 or 0713104040 depending on the applicable entry period), which may carry a different duty rate.

Austrian winter peas (Pisum sativum subsp. arvense) have their own dedicated line, 0713104060, separate from green peas (0713104020) and yellow peas (0713104040 / 0713104015). This distinction matters because Austrian winter peas are primarily used as a cover crop and animal feed ingredient rather than a food-grade pulse, and misclassifying them as food-grade yellow or green peas could trigger incorrect duty treatment or FDA food-safety review. Botanical variety documentation from the supplier supports correct classification.
