0708 — Leguminous vegetables; shelled or unshelled, fresh or chilled
Chapter 07: Edible vegetables
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 0708 when importing leguminous vegetables such as fresh or chilled peas or beans. For example, if you're shipping unshelled peas from Canada, this code applies directly to your product classification.
When deciding between HS-6 070810 for peas and HS-6 070820 for beans, consider the specific type of vegetable. If your shipment consists of shelled or unshelled beans, select the latter code. If it’s peas, the former is appropriate.
For products that don't fit neatly into the peas or beans categories, HS-6 070890 covers other leguminous vegetables. This includes items like lentils or chickpeas, whether shelled or unshelled, fresh or chilled.
