Last updated: April 2026 dataGreen beans, French-style beans, yard-long beans, cowpeas, lima beans, and other pod legumes of the genera Vigna and Phaseolus are classified here, with the US schedule distinguishing by genus, variety, entry season, and organic certification. Mexico and Guatemala together account for the bulk of US imports, reflecting the proximity advantage for perishable fresh beans. Lima beans carry a seasonal restriction (November 1–May 31 entry window under 0708201000), while French-style beans (0708209020) and certified organic beans (0708209040) have their own dedicated lines. FDA produce admissibility requirements apply at entry.

French-style beans (haricots verts) are classified under 0708209020 based on their slender, fine-cut presentation, which is a recognized trade distinction. Standard green beans and other Phaseolus varieties that do not meet the French-style specification fall under 0708209060 (NESOI) or the organic line (0708209040) if certified. Importers should specify 'French-style' or 'haricots verts' on commercial invoices when applicable.
No. Yard-long beans have a dedicated line (0708202005) and cowpeas other than black-eye peas are classified under 0708202010, both within the Vigna genus group. These are separate from the Phaseolus lines covering green beans and French-style beans. Correct genus identification on the commercial invoice is essential for proper classification.
