1209.30.00.10 - Petunia 🖩

This HTS category, 1209.30.00.10, specifically covers seeds of petunias intended for sowing. Petunias are a popular genus of flowering plants known for their vibrant blooms, and these seeds are cultivated for the purpose of propagation, either for commercial horticultural use or for ornamental gardening. The key criterion for classification under this subheading is the intended use of the seed as propagating material for the specific flower variety, petunia.

This subheading is distinct from its sibling, 1209.30.00.90, which encompasses all other seeds of herbaceous plants cultivated principally for their flowers that are not petunia seeds. Therefore, any seeds from other herbaceous flowering plants, such as marigolds, geraniums, or pansies, would fall under the "Other" category. The specificity of 1209.30.00.10 lies in its singular focus on petunia seeds.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification is determined solely by whether the seeds are identified as petunia seeds for sowing. The classification does not extend to other parts of the petunia plant, such as cuttings or mature plants, nor to petunia seeds not intended for sowing.
