0713.33.20 - If entered for consumption during the period from May 1 to August 31, inclusive, in any year

This HTS category, 0713.33.20, specifically classifies shelled, dried leguminous vegetables that are kidney beans, including white pea beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), when entered for consumption during the period from May 1 to August 31, inclusive, in any year. This seasonal restriction is a crucial determinant for classification under this heading, distinguishing it from other classifications of the same bean types.

The primary distinguishing factor from its sibling category, 0713.33.40, lies solely in the timing of importation. While both cover kidney beans and white pea beans, 0713.33.40 is for beans entered for consumption outside the May 1 to August 31 window, or those withdrawn for consumption at any time. Therefore, the seasonal aspect is paramount for accurate classification between these two closely related entries.

Under this seasonal classification, further subcategories exist to delineate specific types of kidney beans. These include Navy or pea beans (0713.33.20.20), Dark red beans (0713.33.20.30), Light red beans (0713.33.20.50), and Other varieties of kidney beans (0713.33.20.90). These subdivisions allow for more granular reporting and statistical tracking based on the visual characteristics and common trade names of the beans.
