1204.00.00.35 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, 1204.00.00.35, encompasses flaxseed (linseed) that is intended for use as oil stock. This means the flaxseed is primarily imported or exported for the purpose of crushing to extract its oil content, which can then be utilized in various industrial applications, such as in paints, varnishes, linoleum, and as a nutritional supplement. The "Other" designation within this specific sub-classification signifies that it captures flaxseed for oil stock that does not meet the criteria for any other distinct sub-categories at this level.

It is important to distinguish this category from its sibling, 1204.00.00.25, which specifically covers certified organic flaxseed for use as oil stock. Therefore, classification under 1204.00.00.35 applies to non-organic flaxseed that is destined for oil extraction. The key differentiator is the organic certification, which is a strict standard that requires specific agricultural practices and traceability.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification decisions at this level hinge on the intended use of the flaxseed as oil stock and whether it possesses organic certification. If an importer or exporter intends to process the flaxseed for its oil, and it is not certified organic, then this is the appropriate HTS code.
