Overview

This HTS code, 1207.40.00.90, specifically covers "Other" sesame seeds that do not qualify for any more specific subheadings within this chapter. It encompasses sesame seeds intended for various uses, including food consumption, industrial processing, or even as planting material, provided they are not specifically classified elsewhere. This broad category ensures that all sesame seeds, regardless of minor variations in processing or packaging, are accounted for within the HTS.

It is important to distinguish this "Other" category from its sibling, 1207.40.00.10, which pertains to certified organic sesame seeds. The primary differentiating factor is the presence of official organic certification. Therefore, sesame seeds not possessing such certification will fall under this 1207.40.00.90 classification.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for sesame seeds under this specific code. Classification at this level is definitive, and importers should carefully verify the absence of any more granular classifications or specific attributes (such as organic certification) before assigning this code.
