1205.10.00.20 - For use as oil stock 🖩

This HTS category, 1205.10.00.20, specifically classifies low erucic acid rape or colza seeds when they are intended for use as oil stock. This designation signifies that the seeds are being imported or exported for the primary purpose of being processed into vegetable oil, rather than for planting or other miscellaneous uses. The emphasis is on the intended industrial application of these seeds in oil production.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS code 1205.10.00.10 covers low erucic acid rape or colza seeds designated "for sowing," meaning they are intended to be planted to cultivate new crops. In contrast, 1205.10.00.90 is a residual category for any other uses of these seeds not specifically covered by the "for sowing" or "for use as oil stock" classifications. Therefore, the intended end-use of the low erucic acid rape or colza seeds is the key differentiator.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories under 1205.10.00.20. Classification at this level is definitive based on the product (low erucic acid rape or colza seeds) and its specified intended use (for oil stock). Importers and exporters must ensure that documentation clearly reflects this intended use to comply with customs regulations.
