1209.29.91.96 - Other

This HTS category, 1209.29.91.96, encompasses "Other" seeds of forage plants that do not fall under the more specific subheadings within 1209.29. The overarching classification relates to seeds, fruits, and spores specifically intended for sowing, with this particular branch focusing on those for agricultural fodder. This category acts as a residual classification for forage plant seeds that have not been explicitly listed elsewhere at the 10-digit level.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings requires careful consideration of the enumerated grass and legume types. For instance, while sibling categories might specify "Bent grass," "Bermuda grass," or "Bromegrass," this "Other" classification would apply to forage seeds like fescues, ryegrasses, clovers (excluding birdsfoot trefoil), or other less commonly specified forage grasses and legumes that serve a similar purpose in animal husbandry or pasture management. The key differentiator is the absence of a more precise description provided by the sibling categories.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification into this 10-digit code depends on a thorough review of the more specific descriptions within the 1209.29.91 range and confirming that the imported forage plant seed does not precisely match any of the preceding subheadings. The determining factor remains the specific botanical identity of the seed and its intended use as forage.
