Overview

This HTS category, 1207.99.03.10, specifically classifies Niger seed. Niger seed, scientifically known as *Guizotia abyssinica*, is a small, edible oilseed derived from a flowering plant native to Africa. It is primarily recognized for its high oil content and is widely used as birdseed, for culinary purposes, and in some industrial applications.

Distinguishing this specific classification from its siblings, the "Other" designation signifies that Niger seed is not classified under hemp seed (1207.99.03.91) or any other specifically enumerated "other" oil seed within this sub-heading. Therefore, any goods falling under this code must be unequivocally identified as Niger seed.

As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive, with Niger seed being the sole product encompassed within this specific HTS code. Any other oil seeds or oleaginous fruits, even if broken, that are not Niger seed would fall under a different classification, likely within the broader "Other" categories at the same or higher levels.
