Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 071022 when importing or exporting frozen leguminous vegetables, specifically shelled or unshelled beans such as Vigna or Phaseolus species. For example, if you are shipping frozen black beans or kidney beans, this code applies.
This HS-6 line is distinct from HS-6 071021, which covers similar beans but only in their uncooked state. If your product is cooked by steaming or boiling before freezing, then 071022 is the correct classification.

Understanding this HS-6 code helps avoid customs delays and ensures compliance with import regulations. Always check for any specific import restrictions or requirements for frozen vegetables in your destination country.
