HS code for Azuki beans: 0713.32

Vegetables, leguminous, small red (adzuki) beans (phaseolus or vigna angularis), shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried.

Classification of azuki beans under HS 0713.32

Azuki beans (Phaseolus or Vigna angularis) are classified under HS code 0713.32. Chapter 07 covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Heading 0713 is dedicated to dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split. Subheading 0713.32 specifically covers the small red (Adzuki) beans. These beans are primarily used in culinary applications, particularly in East Asian cuisine for making sweet bean paste or as a staple pulse. To fall under this code, the beans must be in a dried state and removed from their pods (shelled). The classification remains the same whether the beans are whole, split, or have had their skins removed. This code is part of a larger group of subheadings (0713.31 to 0713.39) that categorize different species of the Phaseolus and Vigna genera. Correct classification is vital for agricultural statistics and the application of specific tariffs or quotas that may apply to pulse crops. The dried nature of the product is the primary factor that distinguishes it from fresh vegetables found earlier in the chapter.

Codes often confused with 0713.32

Common mistake. Azuki beans are often confused with other small red pulses. A common misclassification is HS code 0713.33, which is for Kidney beans and white pea beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). While both are red, they are different species. Another error is 0713.31, which covers Mung beans (Vigna radiata). If the beans are fresh or chilled rather than dried, they must be classified under heading 0708 (specifically 0708.20 for beans). Furthermore, if the beans have been prepared or preserved (e.g., canned in brine or made into sweetened paste), they move to Chapter 20, specifically 2005.51 or 2008.99.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
