Chapter 07 covers edible vegetables, roots and tubers, including fresh, chilled, frozen, dried or provisionally preserved products. This chapter is divided into multiple headings, such as 0713 for dried leguminous vegetables and 0714 for cassava, etc. Note: This chapter does not include roasted plant roots used as coffee substitutes, roots for fodder, and certain medicinal plants. Heading 0713 covers dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split, including dried beans for sowing. Specific subheadings are divided by legume variety, such as 071331 for mung beans, 071332 for adzuki beans, 071333 for kidney beans, etc. Dried beans must be dried but not further processed. The first 2 digits 07 represent edible vegetables, roots and tubers. Digits 3-4, 13, represent dried leguminous vegetables, i.e., dried shelled beans. Digits 5-6, 32, represent adzuki beans (red beans), a subheading under 0713. The complete code 071332 refers to frozen dried adzuki beans, where 'frozen' may indicate the product has undergone freezing treatment, but the core is dried beans. The product is adzuki beans, which have undergone freeze-drying treatment and still retain the basic characteristics of dried beans, so it is classified under 0713. It is not classified under 0712 (dried vegetables) because 0712 covers whole, cut, or sliced vegetables, while adzuki beans are legumes; it is not classified under 0714 because 0714 covers starchy roots and tubers; it is not classified under 2005 because it has not been further processed.
