Tosefta for Kiddushin 1:9

כָּל מִצְוָה שֶׁהִיא תְלוּיָה בָאָרֶץ אֵינָהּ נוֹהֶגֶת אֶלָּא בָאָרֶץ. וְשֶׁאֵינָהּ תְּלוּיָה בָאָרֶץ נוֹהֶגֶת בֵּין בָּאָרֶץ בֵּין בְּחוּצָה לָאָרֶץ, חוּץ מִן הָעָרְלָה וְכִלְאָיִם. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, אַף מִן הֶחָדָשׁ:

Every mitzvah which is a function of the land obtains only in the land, and every mitzvah which is not a function of the land obtains both in the land and outside it. [Any mitzvah which is binding on one's body is called "not a function of the land"; and any mitzvah which is binding on the land is called "a function of the land"] except arlah (interdicted fruit of the first three years) [which obtains (even) outside the land — a halachah to Moses on Sinai] and kilayim (forbidden graftings). [And the admixtures of the vineyard (k'lai hakerem) are rabbinically interdicted outside Eretz Yisrael, and admixtures of seed (k'lai z'raim) are permitted to be sown outside Eretz Yisrael]. R. Eliezer says: Also chadash (new grain, before Pesach) [is Torah-interdicted outside the land, even though it is binding on the land, it being written (Leviticus 23:14): "in all of your dwellings" — wherever you dwell (even outside Eretz Yisrael)].
