Dried Red Kidney Beans from China
Dried red kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are shelled, mature leguminous vegetables imported during the peak U.S. summer season from May 1 to August 31. They fall under HTS 0713.33.20 due to their specific variety, dried state without further processing, and seasonal entry restriction to protect domestic production. These beans require rehydration for cooking in soups, stews, and chili.

Import Tips
• Verify entry date falls between May 1 and August 31 to qualify for this tariff line; off-season imports shift to 0713.33.40 with potentially different rates
• Provide certificates of origin and phytosanitary certificates confirming beans are dried, shelled, and free from pests/quarantine issues
• Label packages clearly with variety (Phaseolus vulgaris), moisture content under 15%, and net weight to prevent misclassification as fresh or processed
