CHAPTER

07 — Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers

In plain English

This category includes edible leguminous vegetables that are either shelled or unshelled and are in a fresh or chilled state. The goods are divided into three groups based on the specific type of plant. One group covers peas, another covers beans, and the final group includes all other leguminous vegetables that are not peas or beans.

Chapter 07 classification notes

Fresh produce imports require phytosanitary certificates in almost every destination. USDA APHIS (US), MAFF (Japan), DAFF (Australia), and MPI (NZ) run the strictest regimes; seasonal import prohibitions are common.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Dried pulses classify under 0713, not Chapter 10 (cereals). Frozen vegetables stay in Chapter 07 (0710) even if blanched; preserved-in-vinegar vegetables move to Chapter 20.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
