1209.91.80.08 - Green cabbage

This HTS category, 1209.91.80.08, specifically covers green cabbage seeds intended for sowing. These are distinct from other seeds within Chapter 12 that might be used for consumption, industrial purposes, or medicinal applications. The emphasis here is on the seed's potential for propagation to cultivate cabbage plants.

Distinguishing this from its sibling category, 1209.91.80.09 "Other," is crucial. While the sibling category would encompass seeds of other vegetables not specifically enumerated or provided for, this category is precisely for green cabbage seeds. Classification relies on the genetic and botanical identity of the seed, confirming it is specifically for the cultivation of green cabbage varieties.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within this HTS code. Therefore, the classification concludes with the precise identification of green cabbage seeds for sowing. Importers and exporters should ensure that the accompanying documentation accurately reflects the intended use of these seeds as being for propagation to avoid misclassification.
