1001.99.00.97 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 1001.99.00.97, encompasses all wheat and meslin not specifically enumerated in preceding subheadings. This includes varieties of wheat and their admixtures with rye that do not fall under more precise descriptions, such as durum wheat, red spring wheat, white winter wheat, Canadian western red winter wheat, or soft white spring wheat. The primary characteristic defining this category is the absence of specific identifying traits that would warrant classification under a more detailed heading within Chapter 10.

This "Other" category serves as a residual for wheat and meslin. It distinguishes itself from its siblings by not being defined by specific color, growing region, or kernel characteristics that are explicitly detailed in other subheadings. For example, while 1001.99.00.45 covers white winter wheat, and 1001.99.00.65 covers soft white spring wheat, this classification 1001.99.00.97 would include wheat varieties that do not meet these specific visual or varietal distinctions.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the classification decision rests on ensuring the product is indeed wheat or a wheat and rye mixture and that it does not meet the criteria for any of the more specifically defined categories. This might include common varieties of wheat lacking distinct commercial designations or admixtures that don't fit a more defined meslin category.
