Last updated: April 2026 dataFresh and chilled leguminous vegetables — including green beans, snap peas, snow peas, and fresh broad beans — serve both retail and foodservice channels and are widely traded across the Americas. FDA regulates admissibility as fresh produce, requiring prior notice and subjecting shipments to potential pesticide residue sampling; USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements also apply, with bean pod borers and other pod-infesting insects among the quarantine pests of concern. The variety and pod-versus-shelled distinction can affect HTS classification, so importers should confirm the correct tariff line for each specific legume type.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. The US HTS schedule distinguishes between leguminous vegetables in the pod and those that are shelled, and these distinctions can result in different tariff lines and duty rates. Importers should clearly indicate on entry documents whether the product is whole-pod (e.g., snap beans, snow peas) or shelled (e.g., fresh lima beans, fresh peas).
APHIS targets several pod-infesting insects, including bean pod borers and thrips, as well as fungal pathogens that can spread through fresh legume shipments. A phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's plant protection authority is required, and shipments may be inspected or treated if regulated pests are detected at the port of entry.
