0713.33.20.50 - Light red beans

This HTS subcategory, 0713.33.20.50, specifically classifies "light red beans" that are dried, shelled, and may be skinned or split. These are a distinct type of kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) characterized by their lighter reddish hue. The classification hinges on the visual appearance of the bean, differentiating it from other colored varieties within the broader kidney bean group.

It is crucial to distinguish these light red beans from their siblings. HTS 0713.33.20.20 covers navy or pea beans, which are typically smaller and white. HTS 0713.33.20.30 encompasses "dark red beans," which, as the name suggests, possess a deeper, more intense red coloration. HTS 0713.33.20.90 serves as a residual category for any other kidney bean varieties not specifically listed.

As this subcategory represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 0713.33.20.50 is final for light red beans when they meet the criteria of being dried, shelled, and entered for consumption during the period from May 1 to August 31, inclusive. This seasonal entry provision is a key characteristic that defines this specific subclassification.
