U.S. imports of unshelled (pod) beans, prepared or preserved, not frozen (HS 200559) totaled $1.7M in April 2026, traded with 33 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataGreen beans, wax beans, and other pod-intact legumes preserved by methods other than vinegar and presented in non-frozen form are captured under this single-line subheading (2005590000), distinguishing them from their shelled counterparts in heading 200551. Mexico is the leading supplier, consistent with its dominant role in US fresh and processed vegetable trade, followed by Canada and Spain. FDA FSMA foreign supplier verification requirements apply, and importers should confirm that drained-weight and fill-of-container standards under 21 CFR Part 130 are met for canned presentations.

The distinction is whether the beans are shelled (seeds removed from the pod) or unshelled (presented in the pod). Shelled beans — such as canned kidney, black, or pinto beans — fall under 200551, while whole green beans, wax beans, and similar pod-intact preparations belong under 200559. Misidentifying the physical form is a common source of classification errors for mixed or cut bean products.
As of the most recent available information, no antidumping or countervailing duty orders specifically target unshelled prepared bean imports from the leading suppliers under this heading. However, importers should verify current CBP and Commerce Department records, as trade remedy orders can be initiated or modified, and a licensed customs broker can provide up-to-date guidance.
