Overview

This HTS classification, 1212.91.00.00, specifically covers sugar beet. Sugar beet refers to the root of the *Beta vulgaris* plant, cultivated for its high sucrose content. The classification encompasses sugar beet in its fresh, chilled, frozen, or dried forms, irrespective of whether it has been ground. This designation is pertinent for goods intended for further processing into sugar or for other industrial or animal feed applications.

It is important to distinguish sugar beet from its sibling categories within 1212.9. While 1212.92.00.00 covers locust beans (carob), 1212.93.00.00 pertains to sugar cane, and 1212.94.00.00 is designated for chicory roots. Each of these distinct vegetable products has unique physical characteristics and primary uses, leading to their separate tariff classifications. Sugar beet's specific genetic makeup and its role as a primary source for sugar production differentiate it from these other items.

As 1212.91.00.00 is a leaf node within the HTS, it does not possess further subcategories. Therefore, classification decisions for sugar beet will rely on its physical state (fresh, dried, etc.) and confirmation that it is indeed sugar beet (*Beta vulgaris*) intended for the specified uses, as opposed to other beet varieties or related root vegetables not classified under this heading.
