0713.50 - Broad beans (Vicia faba var. major) and horse beans (Vicia faba var. equina and Vicia faba var. minor):

This HTS category, 0713.50, specifically enumerates broad beans (Vicia faba var. major) and horse beans (Vicia faba var. equina and Vicia faba var. minor) when they are dried, shelled, and whether or not they have been skinned or split. These legumes are distinct from other entries within heading 0713 due to their unique botanical classification. While other siblings like peas (0713.10), chickpeas (0713.20), beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.), lentils (0713.40), and pigeon peas (0713.60) are also dried leguminous vegetables, broad and horse beans are differentiated by their genetic makeup and physical characteristics.

The subcategories under 0713.50 further refine the classification based on the intended use of these specific beans. Subcategory 0713.50.10.00 is reserved for seeds of a kind used for sowing, indicating a primary purpose of propagation. Conversely, subcategory 0713.50.20.00 encompasses all other dried broad beans and horse beans not intended for sowing, such as those intended for consumption or other industrial uses. This distinction is crucial for accurate tariff application.
