Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 071029 when importing or exporting frozen leguminous vegetables, such as shelled or unshelled chickpeas or lentils. These products are typically frozen to preserve freshness and are often used in soups and salads.
This code specifically covers leguminous vegetables that are not peas or beans, distinguishing it from HS-6 071020, which includes frozen peas. If you're dealing with frozen peas, you will need to use that separate classification.
Frozen leguminous vegetables can be sold in bulk or retail packaging, often found in freezer sections of grocery stores. If your shipment includes frozen lentils in 1 kg bags, you would classify it under this HS-6.
When considering this HS-6, think about the end-use of the product. Are you supplying restaurants with bulk frozen chickpeas, or are you sending retail packs to supermarkets? Both scenarios fall under this classification.
