Analysis
HTS 0713.35.00 covers cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) under heading 0713 (dried leguminous vegetables, shelled, whether or not skinned or split).
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 22% of the 91 tariff lines in chapter 07, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111130 (Dry Pea and Bean Farming). That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
All 30 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
