1205.90.00.10 - For sowing 🖩

This HTS subheading, 1205.90.00.10, specifically covers rape or colza seeds, whether or not broken, that are intended for use as seed for sowing. This designation implies that the seeds are of a quality and variety suitable for planting and germination, with the primary purpose of propagation. The classification focuses on the intended end-use, distinguishing these seeds from those destined for other applications.

It is crucial to differentiate this category from its siblings. HTS 1205.90.00.20 covers rape or colza seeds designated for use as oil stock, meaning they are intended for crushing to extract oil. HTS 1205.90.00.90 encompasses all other residual uses for rape or colza seeds not specified in the preceding categories. Therefore, the key differentiating factor for 1205.90.00.10 is the explicit intent for agricultural propagation.

As this subheading represents a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Classification within 1205.90.00.10 hinges on verifiable evidence of the seeds' suitability for sowing and their procurement for such a purpose, such as documentation from seed suppliers or agricultural certifications. The physical state of the seeds (broken or whole) is secondary to their intended use as planting material.
