0713.40.20.20 - Other

This HTS category, 0713.40.20.20, encompasses "Other" dried, shelled leguminous vegetables specifically within the subcategory of lentils, but excluding certified organic varieties. It serves as a residual category for lentils that do not meet the specific criteria for other defined subheadings under the broader classification of dried leguminous vegetables. This includes all dried, shelled lentils that are not designated as certified organic.

The distinction from the sibling category, 0713.40.20.15 (Certified organic), is based solely on the certification status of the lentils. While both categories refer to dried, shelled lentils, this particular subheading is for those that lack official organic certification. This classification is crucial for importers and exporters to accurately declare the origin and production methods of their lentil shipments.

As this node is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification at this level is final for lentils that are dried, shelled, and not certified organic. Examples of lentils falling under this description would include conventional green lentils, French green lentils (also known as dark speckled lentils), red lentils, yellow lentils, and brown lentils, provided they are not organically certified.
