Fresh Fava Bean Pods from China
Fresh fava bean pods (Vicia faba) are young, immature pods imported unshelled, where the entire pod is edible when harvested early. They are classified under tariff item 0708.90.00 as other leguminous vegetables, fresh or chilled, because they are not mature shelled beans and are not covered by other headings.
