1209.91.80.47 - Kohlrabi

This classification pertains to kohlrabi seeds specifically intended for sowing. Kohlrabi, a member of the cabbage family, is botanically distinct due to its swollen, turnip-like stem which is the primary edible part of the plant. These seeds are imported or exported for the purpose of cultivation, differentiating them from kohlrabi intended for consumption.

Within the broader category of vegetable seeds, this specific classification distinguishes kohlrabi from other Brassica varieties such as broccoli and cabbage, as well as root vegetables like carrots and radishes, and leafy greens like spinach. The selection of these distinct categories is based on the botanical species and the primary cultivated portion of the plant, ensuring accurate tariff application.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Classification at this level is definitive for kohlrabi seeds intended for sowing. Importers and exporters should ensure that the seeds are accurately described and declared to avoid misclassification and potential customs delays.
