Classification of black-eyed peas under HS 0713.35
Black-eyed peas, scientifically known as Vigna unguiculata, are classified under HS code 071335 when they are presented in a dried and shelled state. This code is situated within Chapter 7, which covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Specifically, heading 0713 is dedicated to dried leguminous vegetables that have been shelled, whether or not they have been skinned or split. The classification 071335 is specific to cowpeas, which includes the black-eyed pea variety. The state of the product is the primary factor in this classification; the peas must be dried to a point where they are no longer suitable for immediate consumption without rehydration or cooking. If the black-eyed peas were fresh or chilled, they would be classified under heading 0708. Furthermore, if they were prepared or preserved (for example, canned in brine or pre-cooked), they would move to Chapter 20, specifically heading 2005.

Codes often confused with 0713.35
Common mistake. Black-eyed peas are often misclassified under 071333 (kidney beans) or 071339 (other beans). It is vital to use 071335 specifically for cowpeas. Another error is using 070820, which is for fresh or chilled beans; 071335 is strictly for the dried version. Canned black-eyed peas are also frequently misclassified here, but they belong in 200551.

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).
