Overview
This HTS category, 1207.99.03.40, specifically classifies hemp seed that is designated **for sowing**. This means the hemp seed must be intended for planting to cultivate new hemp plants, rather than for consumption, oil extraction, or other industrial uses. The classification is determined by the intended purpose of the seed, and its suitability for germination and growth.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 1207.99.03.60 "Other," is crucial. The "Other" subcategory encompasses hemp seed that is not intended for sowing. This could include hemp seed for animal feed, for the production of hemp oil, or for other purposes where germination is not the primary consideration. Therefore, the key differentiator is the intended end-use of the hemp seed.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. All hemp seed not classified under specific provisions for sowing falls into the broader "Other" category at this level. When classifying, one must confirm the seed's viability and intended use to ensure accurate application of this specific HTS code.
