1209.29.91.25 - Husked

This HTS category, 1209.29.91.25, specifically classifies husked seeds of Bermuda grass intended for sowing. The "husked" descriptor is critical, indicating that the outer covering or hull of the seed has been removed, presenting a cleaner seed for propagation. This category falls under the broader umbrella of "Other seeds of forage plants," signifying that it is not specifically enumerated under more common forage grass types.

The primary distinction of this category lies in its specificity to Bermuda grass, as opposed to other forage grasses or other types of seeds for sowing covered under different subheadings. While sibling category 1209.29.91.26, also under "Other," might cover unhusked or otherwise processed Bermuda grass seeds, this particular classification isolates the *husked* variety. The exclusion of subcategories signifies that this is a terminal classification, and further subdivisions within this specific type of husked Bermuda grass seed are not provided.

Therefore, importers and exporters should ensure that the goods precisely match the description of husked Bermuda grass seeds when assigning this HTS code. Classification hinges on the species (Bermuda grass), the intended use (for sowing as a forage plant), and the physical state of the seed (husked). Any deviation in these characteristics may necessitate classification under a different HTS subheading.
