Overview
This HTS category, 1209.22.40.95, encompasses seeds of clover (Trifolium spp.) that do not fall under any of the specifically enumerated sub-classifications. It serves as a residual category for clover seeds, meaning it captures any type of clover seed not explicitly detailed in sibling categories. This includes varieties of clover known for their forage use but which may not be commonly traded or specifically identified within the tariff schedule's more granular listings.
The distinction of this category lies in its broad coverage of all other clover seeds not specifically listed as Alsike (1209.22.40.20), Crimson (1209.22.40.30), Red (implied by 1209.22.40.40-95, but without a specific code here), or Sweet (1209.22.40.60). If a particular variety of clover seed, important for animal fodder or pasture, is not explicitly named or defined within the preceding subheadings, it will be classified under this "Other" designation.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 1209.22.40.95 relies on identifying the commodity as clover seed used for sowing and confirming that it does not meet the specific criteria for any of the preceding, more detailed sibling classifications within the clover seeds section. The primary classification criterion is the botanical identification as *Trifolium spp.*, intended for seeding purposes, and the exclusion from more specific descriptions.
