0713.10.10.00 - Seeds of a kind used for sowing

This HTS classification, 0713.10.10.00, specifically pertains to peas (Pisum sativum) that are shelled, dried, and intended for use as seeds for sowing. The critical determinant for this classification is the end-use of the peas; they must be designated and packaged for agricultural propagation. This distinguishes them from dried peas intended for culinary consumption, which would fall under different subheadings within Chapter 7.

As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification relies solely on the precise definition of the goods: dried, shelled peas that are specifically prepared and marketed for sowing. Importers should ensure documentation clearly indicates this intended purpose, as it is the sole differentiator for this specific tariff line. This ensures accurate duty assessment and compliance with agricultural import regulations.
