1001.19.00.69 - Other

This category, HTS Code 1001.19.00.69, encompasses all durum wheat that does not fall under the specifically defined grades (Grade 1 and Grade 2). Durum wheat is a hard variety of wheat with a high protein content, primarily used for making pasta, couscous, and some breads. Classification within this subheading is based on the absence of specific quality grading parameters that would place it into sibling categories.

Distinguishing this "Other" category from its siblings, 1001.19.00.51 (Grade 1) and 1001.19.00.53 (Grade 2), hinges on the lack of adherence to established quality metrics for those specific grades. While all are durum wheat, this classification applies when the wheat does not meet the stringent requirements for Grade 1 or Grade 2 in terms of factors such as protein content, vitreousness, soundness, and other quality indicators.

As this is a terminal classification within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes under 1001.19.00.69 is on confirming that the product is indeed durum wheat and that it does not qualify for any of the more specifically defined grades, making it the residual classification for all other durum wheat.
