Overview

This classification encompasses seeds of forage plants that are specifically for sowing purposes and fall under the "Other" category within bromegrass. It is intended to capture bromegrass varieties that are not explicitly listed as smooth bromegrass. The primary determinant for inclusion here is the botanical identification of the seed as a type of bromegrass, intended for agricultural or horticultural cultivation as fodder, and not falling under any more specific subheadings.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 1209.29.91.37 covers "Smooth" bromegrass, implying a specific variety with distinct physical characteristics. Therefore, 1209.29.91.36 is reserved for all other bromegrass seed varieties used for sowing that do not fit the "Smooth" description. Classification relies on accurate botanical identification and the intended use of the seeds for propagation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to explore. This designation signifies that the classification is as specific as the Harmonized System allows for this particular type of bromegrass seed intended for sowing. When classifying, customs officials will look for the absence of features that would place the seed into a more precisely defined category, such as "smooth" bromegrass, while confirming it is indeed a bromegrass variety suitable for sowing.
