Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the beans are certified as vegetable seeds of a kind used for sowing and meet the definition of seeds of heading 12.09
Heading 12.09 covers seeds of a kind used for sowing, but chapter note 1 of Chapter 7 does not exclude them; however, the legal notes do not specifically exclude leguminous seeds from 12.09, so this alternative may apply if the goods are presented as seeds rather than for consumption.
