1001.99.00.27 - Having a specified protein content not exceeding 12.9% by weight

This HTS category, 1001.99.00.27, specifically covers "other" wheat and meslin (a mixture of wheat and rye) with a specified protein content not exceeding 12.9% by weight. This classification applies to wheat that does not fall under more specific headings within Chapter 10, such as durum wheat or other specified classes of wheat, and where the protein analysis confirms a content within this defined lower range. It is crucial to consult official laboratory analysis for accurate protein determination when classifying under this heading.

This category is distinguished from its siblings based solely on the specified protein content. Specifically, 1001.99.00.30 covers wheat with a protein content exceeding 12.9% but not exceeding 13.9% by weight, while 1001.99.00.33 applies to wheat with a protein content exceeding 13.9% by weight. Therefore, the precise determination of the protein percentage is the sole criterion for differentiating between these closely related classifications.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 1001.99.00.27. All goods meeting the criteria of "other" wheat and meslin with a protein content not exceeding 12.9% by weight will terminate their classification at this specific HTS code. Importers and exporters should ensure that their documentation accurately reflects the protein content, as verified by appropriate testing methods, to ensure compliance with customs regulations.
