1209.91.80.70 - Tomato

This HTS category, 1209.91.80.70, specifically covers tomato seeds intended for sowing. It falls under the broader classification of "Seeds, fruits and spores of a kind used for sowing," and more granularly, "Vegetable seeds." The inclusion of "Tomato" as the description clearly delineates its purpose as a seed for agricultural planting, distinguishing it from other forms of tomatoes such as fresh, dried, or processed.

Unlike its sibling categories, such as those for broccoli, cabbage, carrot, or spinach seeds, this classification is exclusively for the seeds of the *Solanum lycopersicum* plant. The distinction lies in the botanical species and the intended end-use: propagation. While other vegetable seeds at this level are also for sowing, this specific code targets only tomato seeds.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Classification to this level signifies that the goods are identified as tomato seeds intended for sowing and do not require further subdivision based on variety, processing, or specific use beyond their role as planting material.
