Overview

This HTS classification, 1003.90.40.20, specifically covers barley that has been certified as organic. This designation indicates that the barley has been produced, processed, and handled in accordance with recognized organic agricultural standards, prohibiting the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, and irradiation. The "certified organic" status is a key differentiator for classification purposes, distinguishing these goods from non-organic varieties.

Within the broader category of "Other" barley (1003.90), this specific subheading (1003.90.40.20) is distinct from its sibling, 1003.90.40.30, which also falls under "Other" but does not carry the organic certification. The presence or absence of official organic certification is the sole determining factor for distinguishing between these two subheadings.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, practical classification relies on verifying the official organic certification for the barley. Importers and exporters must be able to provide documentation demonstrating compliance with recognized organic standards to substantiate the use of this HTS code.
