Overview
This HTS category, 0713, encompasses dried leguminous vegetables that have been shelled. This includes a wide variety of pulses such as peas, chickpeas, beans, lentils, broad beans, horse beans, and pigeon peas, provided they are in their dried state and have had their outer pods removed. The "shelled" requirement is a key differentiator, meaning fresh or unshelled leguminous vegetables would fall under different classifications.
Within the broader context of Chapter 7 (Edible Vegetables and Certain Roots and Tubers), HTS 0713 specifically addresses dried leguminous vegetables. It stands apart from categories covering fresh or chilled vegetables, or those preserved in ways other than drying. It also differs from dried leguminous vegetables that are not shelled, or those that are processed further beyond simple drying, such as canned or frozen varieties.
The subcategories within 0713 provide further granularity based on the specific type of leguminous vegetable. For instance, 0713.10 covers dried peas, while 0713.20 focuses on dried chickpeas. The category "Beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.)" allows for the classification of numerous common bean varieties. This detailed breakdown ensures accurate classification based on botanical identification, guiding importers and exporters to the most precise tariff line for their specific product.
