Analysis
Subheading 0713.20 covers chickpeas (garbanzos), within heading 0713. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
The US splits it as follows: 0713.20.10 for seeds of a kind used for sowing (1.5¢/kg) and 0713.20.20 for chickpeas (garbanzos): other (1.4¢/kg).
2 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.
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.
Goods only reach 0713.20 once they fall within heading 0713 (dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split). Under General Rule 6, subheadings are then compared only with others at the same level, so a product is matched against its siblings, not against lines elsewhere in the chapter.
