Analysis
HTS 0713.10.40 covers other: other under heading 0713 (dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
The general rate is 0.4¢/kg, a specific or compound duty rather than a simple percentage, so the effective burden depends on the unit value of the goods: cheap goods pay proportionally more than expensive ones. Importers usually convert it to an ad valorem equivalent to compare it with other lines.
Goods that qualify under GSP, the Australia FTA, the Bahrain FTA, the Chile FTA, the Colombia TPA, and 12 others can enter duty-free instead of paying 0.4¢/kg. It is also eligible under GSP, the developing-country programme, which Congress has to renew; check whether GSP is in force on the entry date.
The other lines in the same group are 0713.10.10 (seeds of a kind used for sowing, 1.5¢/kg) and 0713.10.20 (other: split peas, duty-free).
The ten-digit suffixes separate certified Organic, green peas and austrian winter peas. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
