About HS Code 071331

This HS code specifically covers dried beans of the species Vigna mungo (urd beans or black gram) and Vigna radiata (mung beans), shelled, whether or not skinned or split. These legumes are incredibly important in South Asian cuisine, forming the basis of numerous dals, curries, and snacks. Mung beans are also widely used for sprouting. They are highly valued for their nutritional profile, including protein and dietary fiber. Myanmar, Australia, and China are significant exporters, while India is a primary importer and consumer, reflecting the strong cultural and dietary reliance on these beans. The trade is influenced by harvest yields in producing countries and consumer demand in importing regions, particularly within the Asian diaspora.
