HS v2017 Code: 071340

About vegetables, leguminous; lentils, shelled, whether or not skinned or split, dried

HS code 071340 covers the import and export of dried, shelled lentils, which are a type of leguminous vegetable. Lentils are a staple food in many parts of the world, providing a rich source of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. As a versatile and affordable ingredient, the global trade in lentils plays a significant role in the international food supply chain and the broader agricultural economy.

Production process

Lentils are typically grown in temperate and subtropical regions, with major producers including Canada, India, and Australia. After harvesting, the lentils are dried, sorted, and processed to remove the outer skin or hull if required. Depending on the end-use, lentils may be left whole, split, or further processed into flour or other lentil-based products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the lentil industry include agricultural land, water, and labor for cultivation and harvesting. Machinery such as combine harvesters and drying equipment are also important for efficient post-harvest processing. Additionally, lentil production relies on access to transportation infrastructure and storage facilities to facilitate domestic and international trade.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 071340 is dried, shelled lentils, which can be consumed directly as a food ingredient or used as an input for other food products. Lentils may be further processed into lentil flour, which can be used in the production of 190410 Prepared foods obtained by the swelling or roasting of cereals or cereal products, 210690 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, and other food items. The global trade in lentils is facilitated by 100890 Cereals, other, 230400 Oilcake and other solid residues, whether or not ground or in the form of pellets, resulting from the extraction of soybean oil, and other related HS codes.
