HS Code 0708Leguminous vegetables; shelled or unshelled, fresh or chilled

What HS code 0708 covers

Legumes are plants that grow their seeds in pods, such as peas and beans. Shelled means the seeds are taken out of the pod. Unshelled means they are still in it. Both count under this heading.

The goods must be fresh or chilled. Once a legume is frozen, dried or kept in brine, it moves to another heading. The section further down shows where.

You may also see this number called an HSN code or an HTS code. The first six digits are the same in every country that uses the Harmonized System.

Codes under 0708: fresh peas, fresh beans and other legumes

Pick the code by the type of legume. Check the plant name on the invoice or the packing list before you choose.

• Use it for fresh green peas, in the pod or out of it.
• and Phaseolus spp.). Use it for fresh green beans and similar bean pods.
• 070890 is for other fresh leguminous vegetables, meaning any legume that is neither a pea nor a bean.

Difference between HS 0708 and 0713 dried legumes, and other headings

The state of the product decides the heading. Ask one question first: is it fresh, frozen, preserved or dried?

Frozen peas and beans go to heading 0710, which covers vegetables that are frozen, raw or cooked by steaming or boiling. Legumes kept only for a short time so they survive transport, but not fit to eat in that state, go to heading 0711.

Dried legumes have two possible homes. Heading 0713 is for dried legumes that are shelled, whether or not skinned or split. A dried pea or bean taken out of its pod usually points to 0713.

Fresh vegetables that are not named in any other heading of the chapter go to 0709. If your product does not fit any of these, try the HS code classifier.
