Overview

This HTS subcategory, 1209.23.00.20, specifically covers "Tall" fescue seeds intended for sowing. Fescue seeds, in general, are the product of perennial grasses commonly used for pasture, ground cover, and turf. Within this classification, "Tall" fescue refers to a distinct variety known for its robust growth habit and adaptation to various environmental conditions, making it a popular choice for agricultural and landscaping purposes. The primary criterion for inclusion here is the intended use of the seeds for propagation.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While "Meadow" fescue (1209.23.00.60) and "Other" fescue seeds (1209.23.00.90) also fall under the broader heading of fescue seeds, 1209.23.00.20 is precisely for the "Tall" variety. This distinction often relates to specific varietal characteristics, such as growth height, leaf texture, and resilience, which are important for agricultural and turf professionals selecting seeds for particular applications.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 1209.23.00.20. Therefore, the focus remains on clearly identifying and classifying "Tall" fescue seeds. When encountering these seeds, customs professionals should confirm their intended use for sowing and verify the specific varietal designation of "Tall" fescue to ensure correct entry under this code, differentiating it from other fescue types that might be classified elsewhere.
