1209.91.80 - Other

This HTS category, 1209.91.80, encompasses "Other" vegetable seeds not specifically enumerated within the preceding subheadings of 1209.91. These are seeds of a kind used for sowing, belonging to vegetables not individually listed. The primary criterion for inclusion is their intended purpose as seed for cultivation, distinguishing them from vegetables intended for consumption or industrial use.

Unlike sibling categories such as Cauliflower (1209.91.10), Celery (1209.91.20), Onion (1209.91.40), Parsley (1209.91.50), and Pepper (1209.91.60), this residual category captures a broad array of common vegetable seeds. For instance, while specific seeds for brassicas like cauliflower are classified elsewhere, this code would be applicable to seeds of other brassica varieties if not separately detailed.

The subcategories under 1209.91.80 further delineate these "Other" vegetable seeds based on specific vegetable types. This hierarchical breakdown allows for more precise classification of diverse seed varieties such as Broccoli, Carrot, Radish, Spinach, Cucumber, Kale, Kohlrabi, Lettuce, and Parsnip. The existence of these detailed subdivisions indicates that the "Other" designation serves as a placeholder for less common, yet still identifiable, vegetable seeds used for sowing.
