1001.11.00.00 - Seed

This HTS classification covers seed of durum wheat specifically intended for sowing. Durum wheat is a hard variety of wheat characterized by its high protein content and amber color, commonly used for pasta, couscous, and bulgur. Classification under 1001.11.00.00 requires that the wheat be specifically identified or presented as seed, meaning it is intended for propagation and not for consumption as food.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 1001.19.00 ("Other"), which encompasses all other durum wheat products not classified as seed. This includes durum wheat for milling into flour, animal feed, or any other use beyond sowing. The critical differentiator lies in the intended purpose and form of the product.

As a leaf node, 1001.11.00.00 has no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is definitive for durum wheat seed. Importers should ensure proper documentation and labeling to confirm the seed's suitability for sowing, as opposed to being a foodstuff or industrial raw material.
