About HS Code 071022

This HS code encompasses various types of frozen beans, specifically from the Vigna and Phaseolus genera (e.g., green beans, wax beans), that are shelled or unshelled and have been uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling. These frozen beans are a significant item in international trade due to their versatility, ease of preparation, and extended shelf-life compared to fresh alternatives. They are supplied to a broad market, including supermarkets, food service industries, and as ingredients for further food processing. The trade relies heavily on efficient freezing facilities and a robust cold chain to maintain the quality, texture, and nutritional value of the beans from the farm to the end consumer, ensuring year-round availability.
