Overview
This HTS category, 1209.23.00.60, specifically classifies "Meadow" fescue seeds when intended for sowing. Meadow fescue is a type of grass commonly used in pastures, lawns, and for erosion control due to its resilience and ability to thrive in various soil conditions. The classification hinges on the seed's primary purpose for propagation, distinguishing it from fescue seeds that might be used for other purposes, such as for food or industrial processes.
To differentiate from its sibling categories, this subcategory focuses on meadow fescue, a distinct variety of fescue. For instance, 1209.23.00.20 covers "Tall" fescue seeds, which often possess different growth habits and applications, and 1209.23.00.90 encompasses "Other" fescue seeds not specifically defined elsewhere. The "Meadow" designation ensures that only seeds of this particular fescue variety, characterized by its specific growth patterns and suitability for meadow environments, are correctly classified under this code.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is finalized at this level, emphasizing the specific variety of fescue seed and its intended use for sowing. Importers and exporters should ensure that the declared goods precisely match the "Meadow" fescue variety to ensure accurate compliance with customs regulations.
