Overview
This HTS category, 1209.29.91.38, specifically encompasses seeds of forage plants that do not fall under the more defined classifications of "Meadow" (1209.29.91.36) or "Smooth" (1209.29.91.37) bromegrass. It serves as a residual category for bromegrass seeds not otherwise specified, acknowledging variations in species, cultivars, or specific applications of bromegrass used for fodder or pasture.
The distinction between this category and its siblings lies in the precise botanical identification or common naming convention of the bromegrass. While "Meadow" and "Smooth" bromegrass have established characteristics and uses that warrant separate HTS sub-classifications, this "Other" category captures any bromegrass seeds that do not meet those specific criteria. This ensures that all bromegrass seeds intended for sowing as forage are accounted for within the tariff schedule.
As this is a terminal node, there are no further subdivisions within this category. Therefore, the focus for classification under 1209.29.91.38 is on confirming that the product is indeed bromegrass seed used for sowing and that it does not fit the distinct descriptions of "Meadow" or "Smooth" bromegrass. Importers should ensure their documentation accurately reflects the nature of the bromegrass seed to facilitate correct customs clearance.
