1209.23.00.39 - Other

This classification pertains to fescue seeds used for sowing, specifically excluding those that are "certified." The term "fescue" refers to a genus of grasses commonly utilized for pasture, turf, and erosion control. This category encompasses various species within the *Festuca* genus, such as tall fescue, fine fescue, and meadow fescue, when presented in seed form for propagation.

The key differentiator for this subcategory, "Other," is the absence of certification. While sibling categories like "Certified" denote seeds that have met specific quality control standards and undergone official inspection for genetic purity and performance, the seeds classified under "Other" have not undergone this formal certification process. This means they are not guaranteed to possess the same level of uniformity or varietal purity as certified seeds, though they are still intended for sowing.

As a leaf node within the HTS classification, this category does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the scope is limited to all fescue seeds for sowing that are not certified. Importers should ensure that the seeds are indeed intended for sowing and are not for direct consumption or industrial processing, which would place them in different HTS chapters.
