Analysis
Subheading 0713.34 covers bambara beans (Vigna subterranea orVoandzeia subterranea), 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 3 US tariff lines below it are national.
The US splits it as follows: 0713.34.10 for of a kind used for sowing (1.5¢/kg), 0713.34.20 for if entered for consumption during the period from May 1 to August 31… (0.8¢/kg) and 0713.34.40 for if entered for consumption outside the above stated period, or if… (0.8¢/kg).
3 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.
