Overview
This HTS category, 0713.32, specifically covers small red beans, also known as adzuki beans, belonging to the species *Phaseolus angularis* or *Vigna angularis*. These are dried, shelled leguminous vegetables, which may be presented whole, skinned, or split, and fall under the broader classification of beans within the shelled leguminous vegetables chapter.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 0713.32 focuses exclusively on the adzuki bean, differentiating it from other specific bean types like mung beans and urad beans (0713.31), kidney beans (0713.33), bambara beans (0713.34), and cowpeas (0713.35). The presence of "Other" at 0713.39 indicates a catch-all for adzuki bean varieties not otherwise specified, but this code ensures precise identification of the adzuki bean itself.
The subcategories within 0713.32 provide further refinement based on the intended use of the adzuki beans. 0713.32.10.00 is designated for adzuki beans classified as seeds intended for sowing, which may have specific import requirements or exemptions. The remaining adzuki beans, which are intended for consumption or other industrial uses, fall under the broader "Other" classification of 0713.32.20.00.
