1209.30.00.90 - Other

This HTS category, 1209.30.00.90, encompasses seeds of herbaceous plants primarily cultivated for their flowers that are not specifically enumerated elsewhere within this chapter. It serves as a residual classification for a variety of flowering plant seeds that do not fit into more specific subheadings. The key criterion for inclusion is that the plant's principal cultivation purpose is for its floral display.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 1209.30.00.10 (Petunia), lies in specificity. While petunia seeds are a distinct, commonly traded item and thus given their own classification, this "Other" category is for all other herbaceous flowering plant seeds that do not warrant individual HTS codes. Examples might include seeds for marigolds, zinnias, impatiens, or any other herbaceous flowering plant grown for ornamental purposes, provided they are intended for sowing.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 1209.30.00.90 relies on confirming that the seeds are indeed of herbaceous plants cultivated for flowers and are not specifically listed under any other subheading within Chapter 12. The intended use for sowing is paramount for all classifications within heading 1209.
