Canned Cranberry Beans from Germany
Canned Cranberry Beans are shelled cranberry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), also known as borlotti, canned plain in water or brine without vinegar. The preservation method—heat canning—qualifies them under heading 20.05 for vegetables prepared otherwise than by vinegar. As 'other' shelled beans, they fall under tariff item 2005.51.90, appealing to gourmet and heirloom bean markets.
