1209.91.50.00 - Parsley

This HTS category, 1209.91.50.00, specifically covers parsley seeds when intended for sowing. The classification falls under Chapter 12, which pertains to a broad range of seeds, fruits, and miscellaneous plants. Within this chapter, Heading 1209 encompasses seeds, fruits, and spores of a kind used for sowing. This particular subheading refines the scope to "Other" seeds within vegetable seeds, focusing on parsley as a distinct item.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While 1209.91.10.00 through 1209.91.40.00 cover seeds for cauliflower, celery, and onion respectively, and 1209.91.60 and 1209.91.80 cover pepper seeds and other miscellaneous vegetable seeds, 1209.91.50.00 is exclusively dedicated to parsley seeds. The primary differentiating factor is the botanical identity of the seed and its intended use as a planting material for the herb parsley.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification terminates at this level, meaning that any goods falling under the description "Parsley" and intended for sowing would be classified here. The key determinant for inclusion in this subheading is that the product is indeed parsley seed and its primary purpose is for propagation, not for consumption, oil extraction, or other industrial uses.
