Last updated: August 2026 dataCanada dominates US lentil imports under this heading, with India and Turkey also significant sources — a supply concentration that makes crop-year timing and origin documentation critical for buyers. The US tariff schedule subdivides lentils by variety and organic certification status, with dedicated lines for green lentils (including French-type), red lentils, and other lentils, each further split between certified organic (e.g., 0713402015, 0713402035, 0713402065) and non-organic (0713402020, 0713402050, 0713402085). Seed-grade lentils intended for sowing enter under a separate line (0713401000), requiring documentation to support that classification. FDA oversight applies at entry, and organic claims must be backed by USDA National Organic Program certification from the foreign producer.

The schedule maintains separate 10-digit lines for certified organic and non-organic lentils within each variety group. For example, certified organic red lentils enter under 0713402035, while non-organic red lentils enter under 0713402050. Importers must hold valid USDA National Organic Program certification documentation from the foreign supplier to use the organic lines.
To use the seed-for-sowing line, importers typically need phytosanitary certificates, seed lot documentation, and evidence that the goods are commercially intended for planting rather than consumption. USDA APHIS may require additional permits for seed imports, and misclassification between seed and food-grade lentils is a common audit risk.
