1209.91.80.55 - Pumpkin

This HTS classification covers seeds of pumpkins specifically intended for sowing. As part of Chapter 12, which deals with oil seeds, oleaginous fruits, and other miscellaneous seeds and fruits, this category focuses on the reproductive material of the pumpkin plant, distinguishing it from the harvested pumpkin fruit itself, which would be classified under Chapter 7 as vegetables.

Within the broader grouping of "Vegetable seeds" under 1209.91, this specific subcategory, 1209.91.80.55, is differentiated by the type of vegetable seed. Unlike sibling categories for broccoli (1209.91.80.05), cabbage, carrot (1209.91.80.10), radish (1209.91.80.20), or spinach (1209.91.80.30), this code exclusively applies to pumpkin seeds. The distinguishing factor is the botanical identity of the seed, indicating its origin from the Cucurbita genus.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification is final for pumpkin seeds intended for sowing. When encountering goods, the primary criterion for inclusion in this category is the explicit identification of the item as a seed of the pumpkin plant and its intended use for propagation.
