Overview

This HTS category, 1206.00.00.70, encompasses sunflower seeds that are intended for human consumption, are in their shells, and do not meet the criteria for being certified organic. This designation serves as a residual category for in-shell sunflower seeds intended for direct human use when the specific "certified organic" attribute is absent.

It is crucial to distinguish this "Other" category from its sibling, 1206.00.00.65, which exclusively covers in-shell sunflower seeds for human consumption that have undergone certification as organic. Therefore, the primary differentiating factor is the presence or absence of organic certification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to detail. Classification under this heading is determined by the seed's physical form (in-shell), intended use (human consumption), and its organic certification status. Any other sunflower seeds for human use that do not fit the organic designation will be classified here.
