Last updated: April 2026 data

Canada dominates US lentil imports under this heading, with India and Turkey also significant sources — a supply concentration that makes harvest-year variability in the Canadian prairies a recurring risk for importers. The US schedule is unusually granular here, distinguishing sowing seed (0713401000) from food-grade lentils and further splitting by color — green (including French-style Puy-type) and red — as well as certified-organic versus conventional status across lines 0713402015 through 0713402085. Red and green lentils serve distinct end-use markets: red lentils are widely used in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines and often sold split, while green varieties command premium positioning in specialty food retail. FDA oversight applies at entry, and organic-certified shipments require USDA NOP documentation to claim the organic tariff line.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the US tariff schedule distinguish between red and green lentils, and does it matter for duty purposes?

Yes — the 10-digit lines separate green lentils (including French-style) from red lentils, and each color is further split between certified-organic and non-organic. Misclassifying the color or organic status can result in the wrong statistical suffix and potential CBP scrutiny, so importers should confirm both the variety and any organic certification before filing.

What documentation is required to enter lentils under a certified-organic tariff line?

To claim an organic line (e.g., 0713402015 or 0713402035), the shipment must be accompanied by a valid USDA National Organic Program (NOP) certificate or an equivalent accredited certifier's documentation. CBP may request this at entry; without it, the goods default to the conventional (non-organic) line.
