1005.90.20.25 - Other 🖩

This category, HTS 1005.90.20.25, encompasses "Other" types of corn (maize) that do not fall under more specific subheadings within Chapter 10. This generally includes dried corn grains intended for purposes other than direct human consumption as a whole grain, such as for animal feed, industrial processing, or as seed corn that does not meet specific certification requirements for purity or varietal traits.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1005.90.20.15 "Certified Organic," is the absence of organic certification. While both subheadings address "Other" corn, this classification applies to corn that has not undergone the rigorous auditing and certification processes required to be labeled as organic. Therefore, the key differentiator is the origin, cultivation methods, and processing standards employed in its production.

As a leaf node, this classification has no further subcategories. The classification criteria rely on the general definition of corn (maize) and the exclusion from more specific categories within the HTS. For import and export purposes, the importer or exporter must ensure that the corn does not meet the criteria for other more narrowly defined HTS codes related to corn, such as sweet corn, popcorn, or specific types of dent corn.
