About HS Code 071360

This HS code covers dried pigeon peas (Cajanus cajan), a crucial leguminous crop primarily cultivated and consumed in tropical and subtropical regions, including India, East Africa, and the Caribbean. Pigeon peas are highly valued for their drought resistance, nutritional content (protein, fiber), and versatility in cooking, forming the base of many traditional stews, curries, and dals. International trade in pigeon peas supports food security in many developing nations and caters to diaspora communities globally. Exporters are typically agricultural countries in these regions, while importers include nations with significant populations that consume pigeon peas as a dietary staple. They are often traded in whole or split (toor dal) forms.

Common Misclassification
