What to know before exporting HS 0713 from Spain
Heading 0713 belongs to chapter 07 and is divided into 12 subheadings. Each subheading corresponds to a different type of pulse. The first step is to classify your product at the most detailed level, because the tariff, the documents and the import conditions are tied to that code and not to the heading as a whole.
The import figures show a market with a few very large buyers. India stands out far above the rest, with about USD 4.27 billion declared in 2025, and China comes second with about USD 1.28 billion. Türkiye, Pakistan and Algeria follow. These are the totals each country imports from the world, not from Spain, so they measure the size of demand and not your chances of selling there.
Size and accessibility are different questions. A large importer may protect its domestic production with high tariffs, import quotas or phytosanitary restrictions. Before prioritising a market from the table, check these conditions for your specific subheading.
For a company exporting from Spain, the tariff applicable in each destination depends on the subheading and on the trade agreement in force between the EU and that country. It is checked in Access2Markets, which also lists the import requirements, documents and rules of origin for each market.
Within the EU, the relevant references are different. Italy and Spain appear among the main importers in the table. Shipments from Spain to another Member State do not pay customs duties, but they follow the intra-EU trade rules. Intra-EU trade statistics are published by Eurostat.
Dried pulses are plant products. Many destination countries therefore require phytosanitary conditions and checks on the shipment, which vary by country and product. The requirements of each destination are confirmed in Access2Markets or with the plant health authority of the importing country before the first order is closed.
Frequently asked questions about HS 0713
What products does HS 0713 include?
HS 0713 covers dried leguminous vegetables that have been shelled, whether or not skinned or split. It sits in chapter 07, vegetables and certain roots and tubers, and is divided into 12 subheadings by type of pulse.
Which countries import the most dried shelled legumes?
According to UN Comtrade data for 2025, India is the largest importer, with about USD 4.27 billion, followed by China with about USD 1.28 billion and Türkiye with about USD 0.96 billion. Pakistan and Algeria complete the top five. Countries report with a delay, so 2025 is the latest period with consolidated data.
Do the import figures show how much Spain can sell to each country?
No. The figures are what each country imports from the world as a whole. They show the size of demand, not the share that is open to Spanish exporters. Competitiveness, tariffs and access conditions are assessed separately for each market.
How do I find the tariff for exporting 0713 from Spain to a given country?
The tariff depends on the full code of the product and on the agreements between the EU and the destination country. It is consulted in Access2Markets by entering the product code and the destination market. The same tool shows the rules of origin and the import requirements.
Is it enough to classify my product under 0713?
No. The heading only identifies the product family. The customs declaration, the tariff and the conditions of entry are tied to the more detailed subheading, which is the level at which the exact type of pulse is identified. Confirm the full code with your customs agent before quoting a price.
