0708.10.20 - If entered during the period from July 1 to September 30, inclusive, in any year

This HTS classification, 0708.10.20, specifically pertains to fresh or chilled peas (Pisum sativum) that are entered into the customs territory during the period from July 1st to September 30th, inclusive, of any given year. This seasonal designation is a critical factor for accurate classification within the broader category of leguminous vegetables.

Distinguishing this classification from its sibling, 0708.10.40 "Other," is the explicit seasonal window provided. While 0708.10.40 would cover peas falling outside this specified July 1st to September 30th period, this subheading narrows the scope to only those peas imported within this defined timeframe, irrespective of whether they are shelled or unshelled.

Further subdivisions exist within this seasonal classification. The subcategories 0708.10.20.20 (Snow peas), 0708.10.20.40 (Sugar snap peas), and 0708.10.20.60 (Other) provide more granular detail on specific types of peas, allowing for precise identification based on their varietal characteristics and culinary applications. This ensures that even within the seasonal constraint, distinct types of peas are correctly categorized.
