HS code for Garbanzo beans: 0713.20
Vegetables, leguminous, chickpeas (garbanzos), shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried.
Classification of garbanzo beans under HS 0713.20
Garbanzo beans, also known as chickpeas, are classified under HS code 0713.20. This classification is situated within Chapter 7, which covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Heading 0713 specifically addresses dried leguminous vegetables that have been shelled, whether or not they have been skinned or split. The classification follows GRI 1, as the product description matches the specific subheading for chickpeas. To qualify for this code, the beans must be in a dried state, intended for human consumption or for sowing. The processing level is limited; they can be split or have their outer skins removed, but they cannot be cooked or otherwise prepared. If the beans are fresh or chilled, they would fall under a different heading entirely, as Chapter 7 distinguishes strictly between the physical state of the vegetable at the time of import.

Codes often confused with 0713.20
Common mistake. A common misclassification occurs with HS code 0708.20, which covers fresh or chilled leguminous vegetables. Importers often confuse the two if the moisture content is not clearly defined. Additionally, garbanzo beans that have been roasted or preserved in brine are often incorrectly filed under 0713.20; however, these should be classified under heading 2005 for other vegetables prepared or preserved otherwise than by vinegar or acetic acid. Flour made from garbanzo beans is also excluded from this code, falling instead under 1106.10.

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).
