Overview

This HTS category encompasses seeds of bent grass, scientifically classified under the genus *Agrostis*. These seeds are specifically intended for sowing, serving the purpose of cultivating pastures, lawns, or other agricultural and horticultural applications where bent grass is desired. The focus is on the reproductive material itself, not on the harvested grass for fodder or other uses.

Within the broader classification of "Other" seeds of forage plants, this specific subheading distinguishes itself from other forage grasses such as Bermuda grass, birdsfoot trefoil, bromegrass, orchard grass, and Sudan grass by its botanical classification as *Agrostis*. While all are used for sowing forage, the genetic and growth characteristics of bent grass differ from these sibling categories, necessitating a distinct tariff classification for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics.

As this subheading represents a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 1209.29.91.20 is definitive for bent grass seeds when not specifically listed under more granular subheadings. Importers should ensure the seeds are indeed of the *Agrostis* genus and are intended for sowing to correctly apply this classification.
