Overview
This HTS category, 0708.10.40, specifically covers leguminous vegetables of the genus *Pisum sativum*, commonly known as peas, that are fresh or chilled. It encompasses peas, whether shelled or unshelled, that do not fall under the specific seasonal provisions of its sibling category. This distinction is crucial for accurate import and export declarations, ensuring that goods are correctly identified based on their entry timing and specific varietal or form characteristics.
Unlike the sibling category 0708.10.20, which applies to peas entered only during the period from July 1 to September 30 inclusive, this category is for peas classified outside of that specific timeframe. Therefore, any fresh or chilled peas not meeting the seasonal criteria of 0708.10.20 would be considered under this heading.
Within this classification, further distinctions are made to account for specific types of peas. Subcategories exist for snow peas (0708.10.40.20) and sugar snap peas (0708.10.40.40), recognizing their distinct characteristics and market recognition. The residual subcategory, "Other" (0708.10.40.60), is designated for any other varieties of fresh or chilled peas that do not fit the specific definitions of snow peas or sugar snap peas. This detailed breakdown ensures precise tariff application for a wide range of pea varieties.
