Classification of dried chickpeas under HS 0713.20
Dried chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are classified under HS code 071320. This classification is part of the broader heading 0713, which encompasses dried leguminous vegetables that are shelled, whether or not skinned or split. Chickpeas are given their own specific subheading due to their significant global trade volume and distinct botanical identity as Cicer arietinum. The classification applies to the raw, dried seed. According to the Chapter 7 notes of the Harmonized System, these products must be dried to be included here; if they are fresh or chilled, they fall under heading 0708. The distinction between dried and fresh is often based on whether the product is intended for immediate consumption or has been processed for shelf stability. Furthermore, if the chickpeas have been roasted, they are considered prepared and would typically be classified under heading 2008. The inclusion of skinned or split in the description is a critical detail, as it allows for products like chana dal (split chickpeas) to be classified under 071320, provided no further processing like cooking or seasoning has occurred. This code is used by customs authorities to apply specific tariffs and monitor the trade of one of the world's most important pulse crops. The classification remains consistent regardless of whether the chickpeas are intended for human consumption, animal feed, or for use as seeds for sowing.

Codes often confused with 0713.20
Common mistake. Dried chickpeas are often misclassified under 110610, which is the code for flour, meal, and powder of leguminous vegetables. While split chickpeas are in 071320, once they are ground into flour, they must move to Chapter 11. Another common error is using 200520, which is reserved for chickpeas that have been prepared or preserved, such as those sold in cans or jars with liquid.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
