1209.22.40.41 - Double cut

This HTS category specifically classifies seeds of red clover (Trifolium pratense) intended for sowing. Red clover is a widely cultivated forage plant known for its nutritious value and soil-enriching properties. The "double cut" designation within this subheading likely refers to a specific processing or grading standard of the seed, though the precise criteria for this designation are not further detailed within the HTS itself and may be subject to additional interpretive notes or trade practices.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 1209.22.40.49 "Other," which would encompass red clover seeds that do not meet the specific "double cut" criteria or any other specialized classification within the red clover seed group. The defining factor for classification here is the adherence to the "double cut" characteristic, differentiating it from other grades or types of red clover seed.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under this specific HTS code. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this level based on the type of forage plant seed (clover), the specific species (red clover), and the described processing characteristic ("double cut"). Classification decisions at this point would rely on confirming that the imported goods are indeed seeds of red clover and meet the implied standard of "double cut" as understood in the relevant trade context.
