1003.90.40.30 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 1003.90.40.30, encompasses all barley that does not fall under the specific subheading for certified organic barley. It serves as a residual category for various types and forms of barley that are not otherwise specified within Chapter 10, specifically for barley of the genus *Hordeum*. This includes barley intended for general agricultural purposes, such as animal feed, brewing, or as a staple grain, provided it does not meet the criteria for organic certification.

The distinction between this "Other" category and its sibling, 1003.90.40.20, lies solely in the presence or absence of certified organic status. While both subheadings cover barley, 1003.90.40.20 is exclusively for barley that has undergone and passed a recognized organic certification process. Therefore, 1003.90.40.30 applies to all other barley shipments, regardless of whether they are for human consumption, industrial use, or further processing, as long as they are not certified organic.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. All barley not meeting the definition of certified organic falls directly into this residual category. Classification professionals should ensure that all other potential specific subheadings within Chapter 10 have been considered and ruled out before assigning goods to this classification.
