0713.31.40.00 - If entered for consumption outside the above stated period, or if withdrawn for consumption at any time

This HTS classification, 0713.31.40.00, pertains to dried, shelled, and either skinned or split beans of the species *Vigna mungo* (L.) Hepper or *Vigna radiata* (L.) Wilczek. These are commonly known as black gram or mung beans. This specific subheading applies when these beans are entered for consumption outside of the period specified in the sibling category, or if they are withdrawn for consumption at any time. The distinction hinges on the timing of their entry or withdrawal from customs control.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 0713.31.20.00, by the temporal aspect of their entry for consumption. While the sibling category specifically covers imports during the period from May 1 to August 31, inclusive, in any year, this subheading encompasses all other entry periods for these particular dried leguminous vegetables. Therefore, the classification is dictated by the calendar period of importation or withdrawal for consumption.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. The classification is definitive for dried *Vigna mungo* or *Vigna radiata* beans based on their physical state (dried, shelled, skinned or split) and the timing of their entry or withdrawal for consumption, as stipulated by the preceding and sibling categories.
