Agreements with no rule specific to this code
This code carries a preferential rate under the agreements below but has no line of its own in the product-specific rules annex. The goods must still meet an origin requirement.
The agreement sets a general rule for codes outside the annex:
1. Products referred to in Clause 2, Article 2 are considered originating if:
a) The AIFTA content is not less than thirty-five per cent (35%) of the FOB value; and
b) The non-originating materials used in the production of that product have undergone a change in tariff classification at the six (6)-digit level (CTSH) of the Harmonized System.
provided that the last production process is carried out in the territory of the exporting Member State.
CTSH
Source: Circular No. 15/2010/TT-BCT · Article 4(1) of Appendix 1
The agreement sets a general rule for codes outside the annex:
1. General origin criterion
a) Goods specified in Clause 2 of Article 2 shall be considered as originating in the Member State where the working or processing of those goods has taken place if:
- The goods have a regional value content (hereinafter referred to as the “Viet Nam - Laos value content” or the “regional value content (LVC)”) of not less than forty percent (40%), calculated in accordance with the formula provided in Article 5; or
- All non-originating materials used in the production of those goods have undergone a change in tariff classification (hereinafter referred to as “CTC”) at the four (4)-digit level (meaning a change of heading) of the Harmonized System.
b) Each Member State shall allow the exporter of the goods to decide to use either of the two criteria “LVC of not less than forty percent (40%)” or “change in tariff classification at the four (04)-digit level” referred to at point a of Clause 1 in order to determine the origin of the goods.

Notes for Chapter 07 — Edible vegetables and certain roots and tubers
Notes
1. This Chapter does not cover forage products of heading 12.14.
2. In headings 07.09, 07.10, 07.11 and 07.12 the word “vegetables” includes edible mushrooms, truffles, olives, capers, marrows, pumpkins, aubergines, sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata), fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta, fennel, parsley, chervil, tarragon, cress and sweet marjoram (Majorana hortensis or Origanum majorana).
3. Heading 07.12 covers all dried vegetables of the kinds falling in headings 07.01 to 07.11, other than:
(a) dried leguminous vegetables, shelled (heading 07.13);
(b) sweet corn in the forms specified in headings 11.02 to 11.04;
(c) flour, meal, powder, flakes, granules and pellets of potatoes (heading 11.05);
(d) flour, meal and powder of the dried leguminous vegetables of heading 07.13 (heading 11.06).
4. However, dried or crushed or ground fruits of the genus Capsicum or of the genus Pimenta are excluded from this Chapter (heading 09.04).
5. Heading 07.11 applies to vegetables which have been treated solely to ensure their provisional preservation during transport or storage prior to use (for example, by sulphur dioxide gas, in brine, in sulphur water or in other preservative solutions), provided they remain unsuitable for immediate consumption in that state.
Vietnam trade in subheading 0708.20

2024: as reported by partner countries
Vietnam has not filed 2024 yet, so this is rebuilt from what its 19 largest trading partners reported about trade with Vietnam (85% of Vietnam's trade). Not the same measure as the figures above — compare it only with the 2023 row beside it.
| 2023 | 2024 | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Exports | 295,633 USD | 402,971 USD | +36% |
| Imports | 30,442 USD | 80,497 USD | +164% |
- Exports 2023: partners reported 295,633 USD where Vietnam reported 249,611 USD — 1.18× on this measure.
- Imports 2023: partners reported 30,442 USD where Vietnam reported 5,184 USD — 5.87× on this measure.
The gap is not a rounding difference: goods re-exported through Hong Kong or Singapore, a different heading chosen by the importing customs, and origin-based versus destination-based attribution all pull the two measures apart. Use the year-on-year change, not the level.

Corresponding US tariff lines
Six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention, so 0708.20 is the same subheading in both schedules. What differs is how each country splits it: below are the 7 US lines under 0708.20.
| US HTS code | Description | General duty |
|---|---|---|
| 0708.20.10.00 | Beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.) › Lima beans, if entered during the period from November 1 in any year to the following May 31, inclusive(kg) | 2.3¢/kg |
| 0708.20.20.05 | Beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.) › Cowpeas (other than black-eye peas) › Yard-long beans (Vigna unguiculata subsp., Sesquipedalis)(kg) | Free |
| 0708.20.20.10 | Beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.) › Cowpeas (other than black-eye peas) › Other(kg) | Free |
| 0708.20.90.05 | Beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.) › Other › Other beans of the genusVigna(kg) | 4.9¢/kg |
| 0708.20.90.20 | Beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.) › Other › Other › French style(kg) | 4.9¢/kg |
| 0708.20.90.40 | Beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.) › Other › Other › Certified organic(kg) | 4.9¢/kg |
| 0708.20.90.60 | Beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.) › Other › Other › Other(kg) | 4.9¢/kg |
Additional Chapter 99 duties apply to goods of Vietnam
- 9903.02.69 +20% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 20%
- 9903.05.84 +12.5% — The duty provided in the applicable subheading + 12.5%
These are added to the General duty above, not in place of it. Whether a given article falls inside their scope — and the exclusion lists — is set out in the U.S. notes to Chapter 99, which are prose and not machine-readable, so this site does not assign them per code. Check the official schedule before quoting a landed cost.
Already terminated: 9903.01.72 +46%
The General column is the rate for Vietnam: the Special column lists US preference programmes (GSP, USMCA, KORUS…) and Vietnam is in none of them. Source: USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States — 2026 HTS Revision 13. For reference only — classification on import is decided by US Customs, and anti-dumping, countervailing and Section 232/301 measures are not covered here.
Corresponding Japanese tariff lines
0708.20 is the same subheading in both schedules (six digits are identical worldwide under the HS Convention). Vietnamese goods can enter Japan under four parallel preference routes — the columns below — and the exporter picks whichever C/O gives the better rate.
| Line | Description | MFN | VJEPA | AJCEP | CPTPP | RCEP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0708.20-000 | Beans (Vigna spp., Phaseolus spp.)(KG) | 3% | Free | Free | Free | 1.9% |
MFN is the lowest of the schedule's General/Temporary/WTO columns (hover to see all three). The preference columns require the matching certificate of origin; an em dash means that agreement gives no preference for the line. Source: Japan's Tariff Schedule, Japan Customs (as of July 9, 2026). For reference only — classification on import is decided by Japan Customs.
