The seasonal split — May 1 to August 31 under 0713606000 and September 1 to April 30 under 0713608000 — reflects a tariff-rate structure tied to domestic growing seasons, a common mechanism for agricultural commodities. The applicable duty rate can differ between periods, so the date of entry for consumption (not the shipment date) determines which line applies.
Yes. India is the leading supplier of pigeon peas to the US, consistent with its role as the world's largest producer and exporter of this pulse. Peru and Nigeria are secondary sources. Because supply is concentrated in India, importers should monitor Indian crop conditions and any trade-policy developments that could affect availability or pricing.
