1007.90.00.00 - Other

This HTS category, 1007.90.00.00, encompasses "Other" grain sorghum not specifically classified under the preceding subheading. It serves as a residual category for all sorghum grains that do not fall under the "seed" designation. This includes sorghum intended for a variety of uses such as animal feed, food products for human consumption, or industrial processing. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the grain sorghum is not being imported or exported for the express purpose of being sown.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1007.10.00.00 (Seed), is crucial for accurate classification. While both pertain to grain sorghum, the primary difference lies in the intended end-use. Subheading 1007.10.00.00 is exclusively for sorghum grain that is certified or intended for propagation. Any grain sorghum that is not designated as seed, irrespective of its specific variety or physical form (e.g., whole kernels, cracked, or milled), will be classified under this "Other" category.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 1007.90.00.00 is determined by the exclusion of sorghum grain used for seed. Importers and exporters should ensure that the sorghum being declared is not intended for sowing to correctly apply this classification.
