About HS Code 071335

This HS code covers dried cow peas, also known as black-eyed peas, which are a vital leguminous vegetable traded globally. These peas are a significant source of protein and fiber, making them a staple food, particularly in West Africa, parts of Asia, and the Southern United States. International trade in cow peas primarily involves agricultural producers in these regions exporting to consumer markets worldwide, often for direct human consumption in stews, salads, and traditional dishes. They are crucial for food security and provide an affordable protein source. Key things to know include their importance in vegetarian diets and their role in sustainable agriculture due to nitrogen-fixing properties. The trade often involves bulk shipments to processors or distributors who then package them for retail.
