0713.33.40.90 - Other

This classification, HTS 0713.33.40.90, encompasses "Other" dried, shelled leguminous vegetables, specifically beans of the *Vigna* and *Phaseolus* genera, that do not fall under the more specific subcategories of kidney beans. This residual category is for those bean varieties within the kidney bean group that are not explicitly identified as navy or pea beans, dark red beans, or light red beans.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 0713.33.40.20 covers navy or pea beans, and 0713.33.40.30 and 0713.33.40.50 specifically address dark red and light red beans respectively, this HTS code acts as a catch-all for any other types of dried, shelled kidney beans that do not fit those precise descriptions. The practical classification hinges on the specific varietal identification of the beans, often determined by physical characteristics such as color, size, and shape, which differentiate them from the named sibling categories.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category has no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on correctly identifying and separating beans that belong to this "Other" designation from the more narrowly defined bean types already established at this level. Importers and exporters should consult detailed varietal descriptions and, if necessary, expert opinions to ensure the correct application of this classification for any beans that do not precisely match the criteria of the preceding sibling subheadings.
