Chapter 07 covers edible vegetables, roots and tubers, including fresh, chilled, frozen, dried or provisionally preserved vegetables of various types. This chapter is a core chapter in agricultural product trade, involving tariff quotas, seasonal regulation, and inspection and quarantine. Within the chapter, it is subdivided by degree of processing: fresh or chilled (0701-0709), frozen (0710), provisionally preserved (0711), dried (0712), shelled dried beans (0713), etc. If goods have undergone further processing (such as cooking or frying), they are classified under Chapter 20. Heading 0713 covers shelled dried leguminous vegetables, whether or not skinned or split, including mung beans, adzuki beans, kidney beans, peas, chickpeas, etc. The key characteristics are "shelled" and "dried," meaning the beans are removed from the pods and dried, but not further processed. Under this heading, it is subdivided by bean type: 0713.10 peas, 0713.20 chickpeas, 0713.31-0713.39 kidney beans, 0713.40 lentils, 0713.50 broad beans, 0713.60 cowpeas, 0713.90 other. The first 2 digits "07" represent Chapter 07: edible vegetables, roots and tubers. Digits 3-4 "13" represent heading 0713: shelled dried beans, whether or not skinned or split. Digits 5-6 "31" represent subheading 0713.31: mung beans (Vigna radiata). However, the HS code provided by the user is 071331, corresponding to the Chinese name "frozen dried mung beans," which presents a logical contradiction: 0713 is dried beans and should not include a "frozen" state. Frozen mung beans should be classified under 0710 (frozen vegetables). Therefore, this code may be a clerical error, and the correct code should be 0713.31 (dried mung beans) or 0710.80 (frozen mung beans). The following content is analyzed under 0713.31 (dried mung beans). This product is mung beans, which have been shelled and dried without further processing, meeting the definition of 0713 "shelled dried beans." If in a frozen state, it belongs to 0710 frozen vegetables; if it is mung bean flour, it is classified under 1106; if it is bean sprouts, it is classified under 0709. Therefore, only when the product is dried, shelled mung beans is it classified under 0713.31.

🎯 Classification Logic
The core basis for classification is the "Import and Export Tariff" and the "HS Explanatory Notes." 0713 requires the product to be "shelled dried beans," meaning the beans are removed from the pods and dried without further processing. The botanical name of mung beans is Vigna radiata, belonging to 0713.31. If in a frozen state, it meets the definition of 0710 "frozen vegetables"; if it is bean sprouts, it is classified under 0709; if it is bean flour, it is classified under 1106. Therefore, the code must be determined based on the actual state (dried, frozen, fresh) and degree of processing (shelled, split, powdered). 0710.80 Frozen mung beans: 0710 is frozen vegetables, including frozen legumes; mung beans that have been frozen should be classified under this code, not 0713. 0708.90 Fresh or chilled mung beans: 0708 is fresh or chilled leguminous vegetables; mung beans that are not dried and are in pods or shelled but fresh are classified under this code. 1106.00 Mung bean flour: 1106 is fine flour or coarse meal; mung beans ground into flour are classified under this code, not 0713. 0713.39 Other dried kidney beans: 0713.39 is other dried kidney beans; mung beans and kidney beans are different types and must not be confused. Confirm whether the product is in a dried state. Confirm whether it has been shelled. Confirm whether it has been skinned or split. Confirm whether it is mung beans (Vigna radiata). Confirm whether it has undergone further processing such as freezing or grinding.
