Last updated: April 2026 dataBambara beans (Vigna subterranea, also known as Voandzeia subterranea) are an underutilized legume of African origin increasingly traded for specialty food, food security research, and ethnic market supply chains in the United States. Guatemala leads US imports under this heading, with China and Costa Rica also among the top sources — a supply geography that reflects both Central American cultivation and re-export activity. The US schedule provides two lines: a general line (0713340000) and a seasonal line for September 1–April 30 entries (0713344000), mirroring the seasonal structure applied to other Phaseolus/Vigna pulses. FDA Prior Notice and foreign establishment registration are required; admissibility and classification are complex, and importers should consult a licensed customs broker.

Line 0713340000 serves as the general classification, while 0713344000 applies specifically to Bambara beans entered between September 1 and April 30. As with other pulse headings using seasonal entry windows, the controlling date is the date of entry at the US port, so importers should confirm entry timing before filing.
Because Bambara beans are relatively uncommon in US trade, CBP or FDA may request documentation confirming botanical identity (Vigna subterranea or Voandzeia subterranea) to distinguish them from other dried legumes. Supplier certificates specifying the species name and country of origin are advisable to support smooth customs clearance.
