0713.33.40.20 - Navy or pea beans

This HTS category specifically covers navy beans and pea beans that have been shelled, whether or not they have been skinned or split. These are distinct varieties of dried leguminous vegetables falling under the broader classification of beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.). The primary characteristic is their identity as navy or pea beans, which are often small, white, and have a mild flavor, commonly used in soups and stews.

This classification distinguishes itself from its siblings by excluding dark red beans (0713.33.40.30) and light red beans (0713.33.40.50), which are differentiated by their distinct color. It also differs from the "Other" category (0713.33.40.90) by providing a specific classification for the identified navy or pea bean varieties.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification at this level relies on the accurate identification of the beans as either navy or pea beans based on their physical characteristics and common trade names. This specific designation ensures that these particular dried leguminous vegetables are correctly accounted for within the HTS system.
