HS code for Horse beans: 0713.50

Classification of horse beans under HS 0713.50
Horse beans (Vicia faba var. equina and Vicia faba var. minor) are classified under HS code 0713.50. This code is dedicated to dried leguminous vegetables that have been shelled, regardless of whether they have been skinned or split. The classification is based on the species and the state of the vegetable. Chapter 7 covers edible vegetables, and heading 0713 specifically addresses those in a dried, shelled state. Horse beans are closely related to broad beans (Vicia faba var. major), and both are grouped together under this subheading. To qualify for this code, the beans must be intended for human consumption or animal feed and must be in a dry state that allows for long-term storage. Fresh or chilled beans of the same species are excluded from this heading and are classified elsewhere based on their moisture content and preservation method. The distinction is vital for agricultural trade statistics and tariff application.

Codes often confused with 0713.50
Common mistake. Horse beans are often misclassified under HS code 0708.90 if they are fresh or chilled. The 0713.50 code only applies to dried specimens. They may also be confused with other dried beans like kidney beans (0713.33) or chickpeas (0713.20). Furthermore, if the beans are intended for sowing and are specially treated/packaged as seeds, they might be confused with Chapter 12 codes, though 0713 generally retains them if they are dried leguminous vegetables.

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).
