1209.29.91 - Other

This category, HTS Code 1209.29.91, encompasses a broad range of seeds for sowing that are not specifically classified under preceding subheadings within the "Seeds of forage plants" group. The primary function of these seeds is for the cultivation of forage, meaning they are intended to be planted to grow plants that will be used as animal feed, either through grazing or harvesting. This includes various grass species and legumes that are vital for agricultural and livestock industries.

Distinguished from its sibling category, 1209.29.10 (Beet), this subheading focuses exclusively on seeds for forage plants. While beet seeds are also used for agricultural purposes, they are typically classified separately due to their distinct botanical and cultivation characteristics. This "Other" category acts as a catch-all for forage plant seeds that do not fit into more specific classifications.

The subcategories within 1209.29.91 provide further granular detail for classifying specific types of forage plant seeds. These include well-known grasses such as Bent grass (Agrostis), Bermuda grass, Bromegrass, Orchard grass, Sudan grass, and Wheatgrass, each with its own designated code. Additionally, legumes like Birdsfoot trefoil and other wild grasses are also detailed. The final subcategory, 1209.29.91.96, is for any remaining "Other" forage plant seeds that do not fall under these more specific subdivisions, ensuring comprehensive coverage within the forage seed classification.
