1001.99.00.17 - Having a specified protein content exceeding 12.9% but not exceeding 13.9% by weight.

This HTS classification, 1001.99.00.17, specifically identifies "other" wheat and meslin that is classified as red spring wheat, Grade 1, and possesses a specified protein content exceeding 12.9% but not exceeding 13.9% by weight. This category is for red spring wheat that meets the stringent quality standards of Grade 1 and falls within this precise protein range, a critical factor for its intended milling and baking properties.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is paramount for accurate classification. HTS code 1001.99.00.10 covers red spring wheat of Grade 1 with a protein content *not exceeding* 12.9%. Conversely, 1001.99.00.18 classifies red spring wheat, Grade 1, with a protein content *exceeding* 13.9%. Therefore, 1001.99.00.17 serves as a distinct marker for the intermediate protein range.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node within the tariff schedule, there are no further subcategories. This means that any red spring wheat, Grade 1, meeting the specified protein content of over 12.9% and up to 13.9% by weight will be directly classified under this code without the need for further subdivision. The classification is complete at this level, based on the origin (other wheat/meslin), type (red spring wheat), grade (Grade 1), and the precise protein percentage.
