Dried Shelled Bambara Beans (Vigna subterranea)

Line 0713344000 applies specifically to Bambara beans entered between September 1 and April 30, while 0713340000 serves as the general (non-seasonal) line. Importers should verify which line is active for their shipment's entry date, as using the wrong line can trigger a CBP classification discrepancy even when the physical product is identical.

Like other dried legumes, Bambara beans for food use require FDA prior notice and must originate from a registered food facility. If imported as seed for planting, an APHIS phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization is required, and an import permit may be necessary depending on origin. Given that Guatemala is the leading supplier, importers should confirm current APHIS requirements for that origin before shipment.
