1209.29.91.37 - Smooth 🖩

This HTS classification, 1209.29.91.37, specifically designates "Smooth" bromegrass seeds intended for sowing. Bromegrass is a type of perennial grass commonly used for forage in pastures and hay production, and this particular subheading focuses on cultivars or varieties of bromegrass characterized by their smooth leaf surfaces, as opposed to those with rougher textures. The classification emphasizes the seed form, indicating that these are not the harvested grass for consumption but rather the seeds meant for propagation.

The distinction from its sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. HTS 1209.29.91.36, labeled "Meadow," would likely encompass bromegrass seeds of varieties primarily suited for naturalized or less intensively managed grassland areas. Conversely, the residual category, 1209.29.91.38 "Other," serves as a catch-all for bromegrass seed varieties that do not fit the specific "Smooth" or "Meadow" descriptions, potentially including other specific forage types or less common cultivars.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 1209.29.91.37 relies on confirming that the imported bromegrass seeds are indeed of a variety recognized for its smooth foliar characteristics and are intended for sowing purposes, aligning with the broader scope of Chapter 12 concerning seeds and grains for agricultural use.
