1205.90.00 - Other

HTS code 1205.90.00 encompasses rape or colza seeds that are not classified under the specific subcategory of "low erucic acid rape or colza seeds" (1205.10.00). This means any rape or colza seeds that do not meet the stringent requirements for low erucic acid content fall into this residual category. The classification hinges on the fatty acid profile of the oil derived from the seed; if it contains erucic acid beyond the specified limits for 1205.10.00, it will be classified here.

This "Other" classification serves as a catch-all for standard rape or colza seeds. It distinguishes itself from its sibling, 1205.10.00, by the absence of a specific characteristic crucial for certain industrial or food applications – namely, a low erucic acid content. Therefore, the primary differentiator between these two codes is the chemical composition of the seed's oil.

Within HTS code 1205.90.00, further subdivisions exist to specify the intended use of these seeds. The subcategories 1205.90.00.10 for sowing, 1205.90.00.20 for use as oil stock, and 1205.90.00.90 for other purposes provide granular detail. These distinctions are important for customs authorities to track trade flows and potentially apply different duties or regulations based on the ultimate application of the commodity.
