1001.99.00.09 - Other

This HTS category, 1001.99.00.09, encompasses all wheat and meslin not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings within Chapter 10. It serves as a residual category for wheat and meslin varieties that do not fall under classifications for common wheat, durum wheat, or red spring wheat. This includes, but is not limited to, various classes of white wheat, soft wheat, and other regional or specialized wheat types that are not explicitly listed.

The critical distinction of this category from its sibling, 1001.99.00.07 (Red spring wheat), lies in the specific varietal identity. Red spring wheat is a distinct class of wheat with particular milling and baking characteristics. All other wheat varieties, when not specifically classified elsewhere at a more granular level, will be directed to this "Other" subheading. The classification relies on the botanical and commercial identification of the wheat grain itself.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 1001.99.00.09 is determined by exclusion. Importers and exporters must carefully verify that their wheat or meslin product does not meet the defining criteria of any other HTS code within heading 1001 before assigning it to this residual category. This ensures accurate reporting and compliance with customs regulations for all types of wheat not otherwise specified.
