0710.22.25.00 - String beans (snap beans)

This HTS category, 0710.22.25.00, specifically covers string beans, also commonly referred to as snap beans, that have been frozen. These are leguminous vegetables belonging to the *Vigna* or *Phaseolus* genera, which have been preserved through freezing. The beans are presented whole or in pieces, but have not undergone any processing that significantly alters their size, such as chopping or slicing into smaller segments, prior to freezing.

This classification distinguishes string beans from other frozen leguminous vegetables at the same level, such as lima beans, which are covered under a separate subheading. It also differs from cowpeas (other than black-eye peas), which are classified under 0710.22.20.00. String beans are characterized by their edible pods and are typically consumed in their entirety, including the seeds within.

As a leaf node, 0710.22.25.00 represents the most specific classification for frozen string beans that meet the criteria of being not reduced in size. Therefore, any frozen product fitting the description of string beans or snap beans, preserved in its whole or largely intact form, would fall under this particular HTS code.
