HS code for Kidney beans: 0713.33
Vegetables, leguminous, kidney beans, including white pea beans (phaseolus vulgaris), shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried.
Classification of kidney beans under HS 0713.33
Kidney beans, specifically the species Phaseolus vulgaris, are classified under HS code 0713.33 when they are dried and shelled. This classification is found within Chapter 07, which covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Heading 0713 is specifically reserved for dried leguminous vegetables that have been shelled, whether or not they have been skinned or split. The subheading 0713.33 is the specific international designation for kidney beans, including white pea beans (also known as cannellini beans). The classification is determined by the state of the vegetable (dried) and its botanical genus and species. These beans are typically imported in bulk for further processing or packaging. The code applies regardless of whether the beans are intended for human consumption or for use as seeds for sowing, provided they meet the 'dried' criteria. If the beans have been cooked or preserved in airtight containers, they are removed from Chapter 07 entirely.

Codes often confused with 0713.33
Common mistake. Kidney beans are frequently misclassified under HS code 0708.20, which is for fresh or chilled beans. The distinction is the moisture content and preservation method; 0713 is strictly for dried products. Another very common error is 2005.51, which covers beans that are prepared or preserved (such as canned kidney beans). Once the beans are cooked or put into a brine/sauce for canning, they move from Chapter 07 to Chapter 20. Importers must distinguish between the raw dried agricultural product and the processed food product.

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).
