Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 070890 when importing or exporting fresh or chilled leguminous vegetables, such as lentils, chickpeas, or other similar products. For example, a shipment of fresh chickpeas packed in 25 kg bags would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers leguminous vegetables that are neither peas nor beans, distinguishing it from HS-6 070820, which pertains to fresh or chilled peas. If you’re dealing with fresh lentils, you’ll want to use HS-6 070890 instead of the pea classification.
When considering the broader category of HS-4 0708, which includes all leguminous vegetables, this subheading narrows it down to those that are fresh or chilled, ensuring accurate classification for your products. Proper classification is crucial for compliance and duty assessments.
If you're unsure whether your product fits here, think about its form and condition. Fresh lentils or chickpeas, whether shelled or unshelled, are included, while dried varieties would not qualify under this HS-6.
