Classification of frozen peas under HS 0710.21
Frozen peas are classified under HS code 0710.21. This classification is located in Chapter 7 (Edible vegetables). Heading 0710 is reserved for vegetables that are frozen, whether they are uncooked or have been cooked by steaming or boiling in water prior to the freezing process. Subheading 0710.21 is specifically designated for peas of the species Pisum sativum. This is a specific classification that takes precedence over more general vegetable codes. The peas can be presented shelled or unshelled (in the pod). The classification is determined by the botanical species and the preservation method. As long as the peas are not further prepared with additives like butter, salt, or sauces, they remain within this heading.

Codes often confused with 0710.21
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 0713.10, which is for dried peas. While both are peas, the preservation method (drying vs. freezing) dictates the heading. Another error involves frozen mixed vegetables; if peas are mixed with carrots or corn, the product may fall under 0710.90. Furthermore, if the peas are prepared with a sauce or as part of a frozen meal, they are classified under 2004.90. It is also important to distinguish between Pisum sativum and other legumes like cowpeas or chickpeas, which would fall under 0710.29.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
