Vegetables, leguminous, kidney beans, including white pea beans (phaseolus vulgaris), shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried.
Classification of navy beans under HS 0713.33
Navy beans, scientifically classified as a variety of Phaseolus vulgaris, are categorized under HS code 071333. This classification is governed by the General Rules for the Interpretation (GRI) of the Harmonized System, specifically Chapter 7, which covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Heading 0713 is dedicated to dried leguminous vegetables that have been shelled, regardless of whether they have been skinned or split. The specific subheading 071333 is reserved for kidney beans, a group that internationally includes white pea beans and navy beans. To qualify for this code, the beans must be in a dried state, typically with a low moisture content suitable for long-term storage, and must be removed from their pods. This classification applies to beans intended for human consumption, industrial processing, or as seeds for sowing. The botanical identity of the plant as a member of the Phaseolus vulgaris species is the primary determinant for this specific six-digit code, ensuring uniformity in international trade statistics and tariff applications.

Codes often confused with 0713.33
Common mistake. Navy beans are frequently misclassified under HS code 070820, which covers fresh or chilled beans. The distinction lies entirely in the state of preservation; 071333 is strictly for dried products. Another common error is using HS code 071022 for frozen beans. Additionally, importers sometimes confuse navy beans with other dried legumes under 071331 (mung beans) or 071339 (other Phaseolus beans). It is critical to identify the specific species and the dried state to avoid these errors.

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).
