0713.33.40.30 - Dark red beans

This classification covers dark red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) that are shelled, dried, and have not undergone any further processing beyond potential skinning or splitting. These beans are characterized by their deep red coloration and are typically used for culinary purposes. The classification is specific to dark red varieties, distinguishing them from other color variations within the kidney bean subcategory.

The distinction from its sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. "Navy or pea beans" (0713.33.40.20) refers to smaller, lighter-colored beans, while "light red beans" (0713.33.40.50) encompass those with a lighter hue compared to the deep, dark red specified here. "Other" (0713.33.40.90) serves as a residual category for kidney beans that do not fit the specific color descriptions.

As this node represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level is dependent on the precise physical characteristics, specifically the dark red hue, of the entered kidney beans. This ensures that imports are accurately recorded and duties are applied accordingly based on the specific type of dried leguminous vegetable being declared.
