Chapter 07 covers edible vegetables, roots and tubers, including vegetables in fresh, chilled, frozen, dried, temporarily preserved, etc. states. Products of this chapter are mainly for human consumption, involving primary processing after planting and harvesting. It does not include vegetables used as seeds (Chapter 12), vegetables used for feed (Chapter 23), and certain medicinal plants (Chapter 12). Within the chapter, it is further subdivided by vegetable type and processing state. Heading 0713 covers dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split. It includes dried peas, chickpeas, mung beans, adzuki beans, kidney beans, etc. These legumes have been dried but not further processed. Note: 0713 does not include frozen legumes (classified under 0710) or fresh legumes (classified under 0708). Legumes under this heading are usually used for food processing, seeds or feed. Code 071339 has 6 digits. The first 2 digits '07' represent Chapter 07: Edible vegetables, roots and tubers. Digits 3-4 '13' represent heading 0713: Dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split. Digits 5-6 '39' represent subheading 0713.39: Other dried legumes, i.e., legume varieties not listed in 0713.10 to 0713.33. Specifically, it includes other legumes besides the main varieties such as peas, chickpeas, mung beans, adzuki beans, kidney beans, etc., such as lentils, broad beans, etc. This subheading is further subdivided by variety. The goods are freeze-dried other legumes, which fall within the scope of dried legumes. Freeze-drying is a dehydration process, and the final product is in a dried state, so it is classified under dried legume heading 0713, not frozen legumes 0710. At the same time, because it is not a specifically named legume species (such as peas, mung beans, etc.), it is classified under the 'other' subheading 0713.39.

Product name: The specific name of the declared goods, and standardized Chinese or English commodity names should be used, such as 'freeze-dried black beans'. Processing method: Explain the processing state of the legumes, such as 'freeze-dried', 'hot-air dried', etc., which must correspond to the code. State: Describe the physical state of the legumes, such as whether they are skinned, split, or shelled. Variety: The specific legume variety, such as black beans, broad beans, lentils, etc., used to determine whether it belongs to 'other'. Use: Explain the final use of the legumes, such as food, seeds, feed, etc. Packaging specifications: Packaging method and specifications, such as bagged, boxed, net weight, etc. Brand: If there is a brand, the brand name must be declared; if there is no brand, declare 'none'. Ingredient content: Main ingredients and content, such as protein, moisture, etc., used for quality determination. Product name: freeze-dried black beans; Processing method: freeze-dried; State: not skinned, not split, shelled; Variety: black beans; Use: food; Packaging specifications: 25 kg/bag, net weight 25 kg; Brand: none; Ingredient content: protein >=20%, moisture <=5%. Mistakenly classifying freeze-dried beans under 0710 (frozen beans), ignoring their dried nature. Failing to distinguish legume varieties, causing confusion between subheading 0713.39 and other subheadings. Ignoring the 'shelled' requirement and incorrectly classifying unshelled legumes under 0713.

The core basis for classification is: 1. The goods are legumes and have been dried, conforming to the description of heading 0713; 2. Freeze-drying is dehydration drying, and the final product is dried beans, so it is not classified under 0710; 3. The variety is not among the main legume species named in 0713.10 to 0713.33, so it is classified under 0713.39. At the same time, it is necessary to confirm whether they are shelled, skinned or split; these states do not affect the heading but may affect the subheading. 071010 Frozen legumes: 071010 is frozen legumes. Even if freeze-dried, if they remain in a frozen state, they are classified under this code; however, legumes kept at room temperature after freeze-drying should be classified under 0713. 071331 Mung beans: 071331 is mung beans. Even if freeze-dried, if the variety is mung beans, they should be classified under 071331, not 071339. 071332 Adzuki beans: 071332 is adzuki beans, a specific variety. Freeze-dried adzuki beans should be classified under 071332, not 071339. 071333 Kidney beans: 071333 is kidney beans, including white kidney beans, red kidney beans, etc. Freeze-dried kidney beans should be classified under 071333. 071340 Lentils: 071340 is lentils. Freeze-dried lentils should be classified under 071340, not 071339. Confirm whether the legumes are shelled? Confirm whether they have been dried? Confirm whether the variety belongs to a named legume species? Confirm whether they are skinned or split? Confirm whether the final use is food?

Which HS code should freeze-dried legumes be classified under? Freeze-dried legumes are dried legumes and should be classified under heading 0713. If the variety is a named legume species such as mung beans, adzuki beans, kidney beans, etc., classify under the corresponding subheading; if it is another legume species, classify under 071339. Note that after freeze-drying they are kept at room temperature and are not classified under 0710. How to distinguish between 071339 and 071340? 071340 specifically refers to lentils, while 071339 is other dried legumes. If the goods are lentils, even if freeze-dried, they are classified under 071340; if they are other legumes such as black beans, broad beans, etc., they are classified under 071339. What should be noted when declaring freeze-dried legumes? When declaring, the processing method must be stated as 'freeze-dried', and the variety, state (whether skinned, split), use, etc. must be clearly specified. Avoid mistakenly declaring as 'frozen', and ensure accurate variety classification. What is the classification difference between freeze-dried legumes and frozen legumes? Frozen legumes are classified under 0710, referring to legumes preserved by freezing; freeze-dried legumes are dehydrated and kept at room temperature, belonging to dried legumes, and are classified under 0713. The key difference is whether the final state is frozen. If the legumes are not shelled, can they still be classified under 0713? 0713 requires that the legumes must be shelled. Unshelled legumes are fresh legumes or frozen legumes and should be classified under 0708 or 0710. Therefore, freeze-dried legumes must be shelled to be classified under 0713. How to check the tariff rate for 071339? The specific tariff rate must be checked according to the customs tariff of the current year. The latest tariff information can be obtained through the General Administration of Customs website, declaration systems, or by consulting professional customs brokers. Note that tariff rates may vary depending on trade agreements, origin, and other factors. What regulatory conditions are required for exporting freeze-dried legumes? Export regulatory conditions depend on the requirements of the destination country. Generally, a phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, etc. are required. For details, check China Customs export regulatory conditions and the import requirements of the destination country. How to determine whether legumes belong to the 'other' subheading? If the legume variety is not within the named scope of 0713.10 to 0713.33 (i.e., not peas, chickpeas, mung beans, adzuki beans, kidney beans), then classify under 0713.39. Common examples include black beans, broad beans, lentils, etc., but lentils already have a separate subheading 071340.
