Last updated: April 2026 dataPigeon peas (Cajanus cajan), also traded as toor dal or arhar dal in South Asian markets, are subject to a seasonal tariff structure in the US schedule: entries made May 1 through August 31 are classified under 0713606000, while those entered September 1 through April 30 (or withdrawn from warehouse at any time) fall under 0713608000 — a distinction that directly affects duty liability and requires careful attention to entry date.

The US schedule assigns different 10-digit lines based on whether pigeon peas are entered for consumption between May 1–August 31 (0713606000) or September 1–April 30 (0713608000). Because duty rates can differ between these seasonal lines, importers should coordinate arrival and consumption-entry timing carefully — particularly for shipments arriving near the May 1 or September 1 cutoff dates.
They are the same commodity. 'Toor dal' and 'arhar dal' are South Asian trade names for split, hulled pigeon peas (Cajanus cajan). Whether the product is whole or split, it classifies under heading 071360, provided it is dried and shelled — processing beyond simple splitting (e.g., roasting or seasoning) could move it to a different chapter.
