HS Code for Split peas

Split peas are classified under HS code 0713.10. This code falls under Chapter 07, which covers edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers. Heading 0713 is dedicated to dried leguminous vegetables that have been shelled, whether or not they have been skinned or split. The sub-heading 0713.10 specifically identifies peas of the species Pisum sativum. The classification is straightforward: the product must be a pea, it must be dried, and it must be intended for human consumption or sowing. The act of splitting the pea—which involves removing the outer skin and dividing the cotyledon—does not change the HS code, as the heading explicitly includes "split" vegetables. This distinguishes them from fresh or chilled peas (0708) or frozen peas (0710). The primary factor for classification here is the preservation method (drying) and the botanical genus. Whether the peas are yellow or green, the code remains 0713.10 as long as they are dried and shelled.

Common Misclassification

Split peas are often confused with other dried legumes. For example, chickpeas (garbanzos) are classified under 0713.20, and lentils are under 0713.40. It is vital to distinguish the species Pisum sativum from these other legumes. Another common error is classifying split peas under 1106.10 if they have been ground into a fine flour. If the product is merely split and not pulverized, it must remain in 0713.10. Furthermore, fresh peas in pods are 0708.10, and frozen peas are 0710.21; the "dried" state is the key requirement for 0713.10.
