Analysis
Heading 0713 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split. It divides into 12 six-digit subheadings and 31 eight-digit tariff lines, with 62 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 31 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 11th percentile of the headings in chapter 07.
27 of the lines carry specific or compound rates (per kilogram, per dozen and so on) rather than a percentage, so their burden depends on the unit value of the goods.
The largest subheadings are 0713.90 (other, 4 lines), 0713.10 (peas (Pisum sativum), 3 lines), 0713.31 (beans of the species Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper or…, 3 lines) and 0713.33 (kidney beans, including white pea beans…, 3 lines).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Dry Pea and Bean Farming (111130). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
