Overview

This HTS classification, 1209.23.00.90, encompasses "Other" fescue seeds used for sowing, which do not fall under the more specific subcategories of this chapter. Fescue seeds are generally utilized for agricultural purposes, particularly for creating pastures and lawns, due to their resilience and adaptability to various environmental conditions.

This category serves as a residual classification for fescue seeds that are not specifically identified as Tall Fescue (1209.23.00.20), Creeping Red Fescue, or Meadow Fescue (1209.23.00.60). The distinction between these categories relies on the botanical variety and specific growth characteristics of the fescue grass species being imported. Importers should consult botanical identification guides and seed analysis certificates to accurately determine the correct classification.

As this is a terminal node, there are no further subcategories for 1209.23.00.90. Therefore, accurate classification hinges on meticulously differentiating the imported fescue seeds from the enumerated sibling categories based on their known botanical names and distinguishing physical or growth traits.
