Dried Shelled Chickpeas (Garbanzos), Including Seed

The US schedule provides a specific line (0713202025) for Kabuli chickpeas — the large, smooth-seeded variety — while desi chickpeas and other non-seed varieties not meeting the Kabuli specification fall under the residual line (0713202075). Importers should confirm variety with their supplier and ensure commercial invoices and packing lists identify the chickpea type, as CBP may request supporting documentation to verify the claimed classification.

Unlike kidney beans and certain other Phaseolus species in Chapter 7, chickpeas under heading 071320 do not carry separate seasonal entry-date lines in the US schedule. The classification is determined by seed versus non-seed use and variety (Kabuli vs. other), not by the calendar date of importation — simplifying duty calculation compared to some neighboring headings.
