About HS Code 071029

This 'other' HS code for frozen leguminous vegetables covers varieties not specifically classified as peas or common beans (Vigna/Phaseolus spp.), which have been uncooked or cooked by steaming or boiling. This category includes items like frozen broad beans, fava beans, edamame, chickpeas, or lentils, which are increasingly traded internationally due to growing demand for diverse plant-based proteins and convenient culinary ingredients. Trade in these items caters to specialty markets, ethnic food producers, and consumers seeking nutritious, easy-to-prepare options. Exporters often come from regions with traditional cultivation of these specific legumes, while importers are diverse, reflecting global dietary shifts and culinary trends. Maintaining the cold chain is critical for quality.
