Last updated: September 2026 dataAdzuki beans (Vigna angularis), prized in East Asian confectionery for red bean paste and increasingly popular in Western health-food markets, are classified under just two 10-digit lines: sowing seed (0713321000) and all other dried shelled adzuki (0713322000). Nicaragua and Costa Rica lead US import supply — a notable geographic concentration in Central America rather than the East Asian origins most associated with adzuki consumption — with China and Canada also contributing. The narrow two-line structure means the seed-versus-food-grade distinction is the primary classification decision point. FDA reviews dried adzuki beans as food commodities at entry, and importers should ensure product meets applicable food-safety standards.

Classification as sowing seed requires that the beans be of a kind commercially used for planting — typically evidenced by phytosanitary certification, germination test results, and seed-lot documentation from the exporting country's plant health authority. Beans sold for food consumption, even if technically capable of germination, are classified under the food-grade line (0713322000). USDA APHIS may also require import permits for seed-grade pulses intended for planting.
Nicaragua and Costa Rica have developed significant adzuki bean production capacity oriented toward the US export market, benefiting from favorable growing conditions and geographic proximity that reduces shipping time and cost. East Asian producers such as Japan and China primarily supply their own domestic markets or regional trade flows, leaving Central America as the practical primary source for US importers seeking consistent volume.
