Last updated: April 2026 dataGarden and field peas of the species Pisum sativum, prepared or preserved by methods other than vinegar and presented in non-frozen form, are classified here — a single 10-digit line (2005400000) covers the entire subheading. Thailand is the leading supplier, with Spain and China also significant sources; Chinese-origin pea preparations are subject to Section 301 tariff exposure, a factor that has influenced sourcing decisions toward Southeast Asian and European origins. FDA FSMA foreign supplier verification requirements apply, and importers should ensure that net-drained-weight declarations align with US labeling standards for canned vegetables.

No. Heading 200540 is limited to Pisum sativum peas that have been prepared or preserved (e.g., canned or brined) in a non-frozen state. Dried split peas are classified under Chapter 7 (dried leguminous vegetables), not Chapter 20, because they have not undergone the preparation or preservation processes that move a product into Chapter 20.
Because Chinese-origin prepared peas are subject to Section 301 tariffs, many US importers have shifted volume toward Thailand and Spain, which are not subject to those measures. Importers should verify current Section 301 list coverage and any active exclusions with a licensed customs broker before finalizing sourcing decisions.
