HS code lookup
Kabuli chickpeas, the large pale type sold as garbanzos, are declared under 071320 like every other dried chickpea. What varies is not the code but the grade, the size sort and the paperwork around it.
| HS code (6-digit) | Official description |
|---|---|
| 0713.20 | Vegetables, leguminous; chickpeas (garbanzos), shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried |
The first six digits are the same worldwide. Countries add their own further digits, and duty, licensing and statistics follow the national line, so confirm it in the destination tariff before quoting. Source: UN Comtrade HS nomenclature.
Subheading 071320 is described as chickpeas (garbanzos), shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried. Kabuli is the variety most people mean by garbanzo, so the wording fits it directly. The six-digit line, however, has no variety split, so desi and kabuli travel under the same number.
Kabuli is often traded by bean size, sometimes described by count per unit weight or by millimetre screen size. Those measures belong on the contract and specification. They do not create separate tariff lines.
Dried whole kabuli, cleaned and sorted, is squarely in 071320. Split or skinned kabuli remains there too. Once the bean is roasted for snacking, soaked and canned, or cooked into a paste such as hummus, it becomes a prepared food outside chapter 7, and ground flour is a milled product elsewhere.
The heading sits alongside other pulses: peas at 071310, kidney beans at 071333, lentils at 071340, broad beans at 071350 and pigeon peas at 071360. Canned chickpeas do not sit with any of those, and a mixed-pulse bag does not take the chickpea line.
Search 071320 for the destination and read descriptions for kabuli, garbanzo or white chickpea to pick out large-bean lots. Consignees are typically packers, canners and bulk importers, and the quantity field shows how they buy. Because the code covers both types, compare declared value per unit to spot the higher-value large-bean shipments.
Import conditions for pulses change often and include inspection and treatment rules, so confirm the current eight-digit line and requirements with the destination customs authority.
Dried, shelled kabuli chickpeas, also called garbanzos, are classified under 071320. This is the same line as for desi chickpeas.
No. Size grades affect the specification, price and buyer requirements, but not the six-digit tariff code.
They are prepared foods and are classified outside heading 0713. Only dried pulses belong on 071320.
Filter by 071320 and destination, then read descriptions for kabuli or garbanzo. The named consignees and quantities show who buys regularly.
