1209.29.91.79 - Other grass

This HTS category, 1209.29.91.79, encompasses "Other grass" seeds intended for sowing, specifically those not otherwise classified within Chapter 12. It covers a broad range of grass seeds that fall outside the more specific provisions for particular grass genera or types. The primary function of these seeds is for agricultural or horticultural purposes, such as the cultivation of pasture, turf, or fodder.

This classification distinguishes itself from its sibling categories by its residual nature. For instance, while sibling categories might specifically enumerate seeds of *Agrostis* (Bent grass), *Cynodon* (Bermuda grass), *Lotus corniculatus* (Birdsfoot trefoil), or *Dactylis glomerata* (Orchard grass), this entry serves as a catch-all for other grass seeds that do not fit those more granular descriptions. The key differentiator lies in the absence of a more precise tariff heading for the specific type of grass seed.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this heading is determined by the absence of a more specific classification for the grass seed in question, provided it meets the general criteria of being a seed of a forage plant for sowing. Importers and exporters should confirm that the grass seed does not fall under a more narrowly defined category before assigning it to 1209.29.91.79.
