Other Dried Shelled Leguminous Vegetables, Including Seed (NESOI)

Guar seeds (0713905000) are the commercially significant standout within this residual legume heading — they are a primary raw material for guar gum, widely used in oil-field hydraulic fracturing fluids, food thickeners, and textile sizing, making India the dominant supplier by a wide margin. Beyond guar, the heading captures a range of dried pulses not classified elsewhere in Chapter 7, including adzuki beans, moth beans, and lablab beans, with seasonal entry lines (0713906100 for May 1–August 31 and 0713908100 for September 1–April 30) applying to most non-guar legumes. Nigeria and Nicaragua also appear among leading US suppliers, reflecting diverse origin profiles across the many commodities grouped here.
