HS code for Dried beans: 0713.39
Vegetables, leguminous, n.e.c. in item no. 0713.3, shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried.
Classification of dried beans under HS 0713.39
The classification of dried beans under HS code 071339 is determined by the General Rules of Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System, specifically GRI 1 and GRI 6. Heading 0713 is dedicated to leguminous vegetables that are dried and shelled. The subheading 071339 serves as a residual category for beans of the genus Phaseolus or other genera that are not explicitly mentioned in the preceding subheadings, such as 071331 (Mung beans) or 071333 (Kidney beans). To qualify for this classification, the beans must be in a dried state, which means their moisture content has been significantly reduced to allow for long-term storage and transport without spoilage. They must also be shelled, meaning the outer pod has been removed. The classification remains valid whether the beans are whole, skinned, or split. This is particularly relevant for various types of pulses used in international trade. According to the Explanatory Notes to Chapter 7, this heading excludes leguminous vegetables in the fresh or chilled state, which are classified under heading 0708. Furthermore, if the beans have been cooked or otherwise prepared (for example, canned in sauce or seasoned), they would be classified under Chapter 20, specifically heading 2005. The precision of this code ensures that diverse bean varieties are correctly identified for tariff and statistical purposes.

Codes often confused with 0713.39
Common mistake. Dried beans are frequently confused with HS code 071333 (Kidney beans) or 071331 (Mung beans) because these are also dried leguminous vegetables but have their own specific subheadings. Another common error is using 071290, which covers other dried vegetables; however, because beans are leguminous, they must stay within 0713. Additionally, if the beans are ground into a fine powder, they should be classified under 110610 rather than 071339.

In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 071339 (the code used for dried beans) in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 39% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 33% of world imports. Uzbekistan did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 43% of its exports here ($93M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top exporters. Afghanistan did not report 2025 data, and its estimate from partner records misses its trade with other countries that did not report: in 2024 that was 100% of its imports here ($92M, CEPII BACI), so it may also belong among the top importers.

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).
