Overview
This HTS category specifically covers pigeon peas, whether shelled or unshelled, in a fresh or chilled state. Pigeon peas are a type of legume commonly used as a food staple in various cuisines. Classification within this code requires the goods to meet the general requirements of Chapter 7 for fresh or chilled leguminous vegetables.
It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, HTS 0708.90.30.00, which is designated for "Other" leguminous vegetables not otherwise specified. This means that while both fall under the broader "Other leguminous vegetables" heading, this specific code is exclusively for pigeon peas, whereas the sibling code would capture a diverse range of other leguminous vegetables that do not fit into more defined subcategories.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions for pigeon peas. Therefore, classification into 0708.90.25.00 is definitive for fresh or chilled pigeon peas. The presence of the descriptive text "If entered during the period from July 1 to September 30, inclusive, in any year" indicates a specific seasonal tariff or regulatory consideration that applies to goods entered under this code, which importers and exporters must be aware of.
