HS Code for Adzuki beans

HS 071332 specifically identifies adzuki beans (Phaseolus or Vigna angularis) within the broader category of dried leguminous vegetables. The key elements for this classification are that the beans are shelled, meaning they are removed from their pods, and are in a dried state. The description also explicitly includes whether they are skinned or split, indicating that various processed forms of dried adzuki beans fall under this code, as long as their fundamental nature as adzuki beans is retained. This precise classification ensures proper distinction from other bean varieties and forms.
