1214.10.00.10 - Cubes 🖩

This HTS category, 1214.10.00.10, specifically covers alfalfa (lucerne) meal and pellets that have undergone a dehydration process. Dehydration is a key characteristic, implying a reduction in moisture content to preserve the forage. This process results in a more stable and transportable product compared to fresh or wilted alfalfa. The classification focuses on the processed form of alfalfa intended for use as animal fodder.

This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 1214.10.00.15 "Other," which would encompass any dehydrated alfalfa meal or pellets that do not meet the specific criteria for "cubes." In this context, "cubes" refers to the specific shape or form in which the dehydrated alfalfa meal or pellets are presented. While both are dehydrated alfalfa products, the physical form is the distinguishing factor at this level.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification is concluded at this point. The critical criteria for assigning goods to this code are that the product must be alfalfa (lucerne), in the form of meal or pellets, and must have been dehydrated. The final physical form being in cubes is also determinative for this specific code.
