Last updated: July 2026 dataCowpeas (Vigna unguiculata), also traded as black-eyed peas, crowder peas, and field peas depending on variety, are consolidated under a single 10-digit line (0713350000) covering non-seed dried shelled product. Peru leads US import supply, with Madagascar and India also contributing — a geographically diverse supplier base that reflects cowpea's cultivation across tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. As a drought-tolerant legume with growing demand in plant-based protein and traditional Southern US cuisine, cowpeas occupy a niche but stable position in the dried pulse import market. FDA reviews dried cowpeas as food commodities at entry, and importers should verify that shipments meet applicable food-safety and labeling standards.

No. HTS 0713350000 covers only cowpeas excluding seed — that is, product intended for food or feed use rather than planting. Cowpea sowing seeds would need to be assessed under a different heading or subheading applicable to seeds of a kind used for sowing. Additionally, USDA APHIS may require import permits for seed-grade cowpeas intended for planting, so importers should confirm the intended use before filing.
At the 6-digit and 10-digit level, the US schedule does not subdivide cowpeas by variety — black-eyed peas, crowder peas, purple hull peas, and other Vigna unguiculata varieties all fall under 0713350000 (excluding seed). However, variety identification remains commercially important for buyers and may be required by FDA if a specific variety is subject to a commodity-specific import alert or food-safety concern. Supplier documentation identifying the variety and growing region is good practice even when not strictly required for classification.
