Last updated: July 2026 dataCovering both Vigna and Phaseolus genera, this heading captures a wide range of fresh pod beans — from yard-long beans (0708202005) and cowpeas (0708202010) to French-style snap beans (0708209020) and certified organic varieties (0708209040). Mexico and Guatemala together dominate US supply, with Nicaragua and El Salvador also contributing, reflecting the importance of Central American and Mexican growing regions to year-round US retail and foodservice channels. Lima beans entered between November 1 and May 31 (0708201000) carry a seasonally specific tariff line, making entry-date accuracy critical for that variety. FDA's Produce Safety Rule governs fresh bean imports, and importers should confirm that foreign growers meet FSMA-equivalent standards.

Lima beans entered between November 1 and May 31 are classified under 0708201000, which carries duty treatment tied to that specific seasonal window. Entries outside that date range fall under different lines, so the date of importation must be confirmed before filing to ensure the correct classification and applicable duty rate.
Yard-long beans (0708202005) and cowpeas other than black-eye peas (0708202010) are classified within the Vigna genus lines, separate from Phaseolus species such as snap and lima beans. The botanical genus of the bean — not just its common name — drives the correct 10-digit line selection, so importers should verify species identification with their supplier.
