0713.31.20.00 - If entered for consumption during the period from May 1 to August 31, inclusive, in any year

This HTS classification covers dried leguminous vegetables, specifically shelled beans belonging to the species *Vigna mungo* (also known as black gram or urad dal) or *Vigna radiata* (also known as mung beans or moong dal). These beans must be presented in a shelled state, and may be either skinned or split. This specific classification applies only when these dried beans are entered for consumption in the United States during the period commencing May 1st and concluding August 31st, inclusive, of any given year.

The primary distinguishing factor for this classification is the specific seasonal window for importation. The sibling category, HTS 0713.31.40.00, covers the same types of dried mung beans and black gram but applies when they are entered for consumption outside of this May 1st to August 31st period, or if the beans are withdrawn for consumption at any time, irrespective of the entry date. Therefore, the temporal aspect of the import is the sole determinant between these two classifications.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is final for beans of the species *Vigna mungo* or *Vigna radiata*, shelled, entered for consumption between May 1 and August 31, inclusive. The scope is limited to these specific bean species and their dried, shelled form, with the seasonal entry date being the critical factor for this particular tariff line.
