Chapter 07 covers edible vegetables, roots and tubers, including fresh, chilled, frozen, dried or provisionally preserved products. This chapter is divided into several headings, such as 0701 to 0714, covering various vegetables. Heading 0713 specifically covers dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split. Chapter 07 does not include oil seeds, roots and tubers for fodder, etc., which are classified in other chapters. Heading 0713 covers dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, including subheadings 071310 to 071390. These legumes have been dried but not further processed. 071390 covers other leguminous vegetables, i.e., dried legumes not specified in 071310 to 071350, such as lentils, broad beans, etc. This heading does not include fresh or chilled legumes (classified in 0708) or frozen legumes (classified in 0710). The first 2 digits 07 represent Chapter 07, edible vegetables, roots and tubers. The 3rd-4th digits 13 represent heading 0713, i.e., dried leguminous vegetables, shelled. The 5th-6th digits 90 represent subheading 071390, i.e., other leguminous vegetables. The code structure is 6 digits: the first 2 digits for the chapter, the middle 2 digits for the heading, and the last 2 digits for the subheading. 071390 is a residual subheading for dried legumes not specifically named in 071310 to 071350. The goods are freeze-dried other leguminous vegetables, belonging to dried legumes, and are not specified in 071310 to 071350, so they are classified under 071390. Freeze-drying is a drying method, and the product is still regarded as dried legumes. If they were fresh or chilled legumes, they should be classified under 0708; frozen legumes under 0710. 071390 is the residual code for other dried legumes.
