0713.39.41.50 - Pinto beans

This HTS category, 0713.39.41.50, specifically classifies dried, shelled pinto beans. Pinto beans are characterized by their distinctive brown speckling and are a common variety of the common bean genus *Phaseolus*. This classification falls under the broader heading for dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split, and is further refined within the "Beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.)" and "Other" subheadings.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, other entries at this level like black beans, Great Northern beans, and various types of lima beans, relies on the specific varietal identification of the dried leguminous vegetable. While all are dried beans, the defining characteristic for 0713.39.41.50 is the presence of pinto beans, which possess unique visual attributes and culinary applications that set them apart from other bean types. The sibling "Other white beans," for instance, would encompass varieties of dried white beans that are not specifically Great Northern.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this classification. Therefore, the primary focus for accurate classification under 0713.39.41.50 is the definitive identification of the product as pinto beans, ensuring it is not misclassified as another bean variety or as a different type of dried leguminous vegetable. The import and export of these goods will be subject to the specific customs regulations and duty rates associated with this detailed tariff line.
