1004.90.00.10 - Certified organic

This HTS classification, 1004.90.00.10, specifically identifies certified organic oats. It falls within Chapter 10, which covers cereals, and more precisely under heading 1004 for oats. This subcategory is reserved for oats that have undergone an official certification process to confirm they have been grown and processed according to organic farming standards. These standards typically prohibit the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 1004.90.00.90, which covers "Other" oats. While both are part of the "Other" category for oats under heading 1004.90, this specific code (1004.90.00.10) requires verifiable proof of organic certification. Non-organic oats, even if they are of the same variety and quality, would be classified under the "Other" sibling category.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, encompassing all certified organic oats regardless of specific variety or end-use, provided the organic certification is valid and demonstrable upon import.
