0710.22.40.10 - Green and wax

This HTS subheading covers frozen leguminous vegetables, specifically beans of the genera *Vigna* and *Phaseolus*, that have been reduced in size. This size reduction typically includes processes such as slicing, dicing, or cutting into smaller pieces, as opposed to being presented whole. The scope of this classification extends to beans that have been preserved by freezing, whether or not they have undergone blanching as part of the freezing process.

The distinction from its sibling, 0710.22.40.90 ("Other"), lies in the specific form of size reduction. While "Other" would encompass frozen beans that are not reduced in size (e.g., whole beans), this subheading is dedicated to those that have been mechanically processed into smaller, more uniform pieces. This differentiation is crucial for accurate tariff assessment, reflecting variations in processing and product presentation.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 0710.22.40.10 is final for frozen, reduced-size beans of the specified genera. Examples of goods falling under this classification would include frozen diced green beans, frozen sliced wax beans, or frozen cut-up kidney beans intended for culinary use.
