1214.10.00.30 - Cubes

This category specifically classifies cubes derived from the forage products listed under heading 1214. These cubes are manufactured from materials such as rutabagas, mangolds, fodder roots, hay, alfalfa (lucerne), clover, sainfoin, forage kale, lupines, vetches, and similar forage plants. The defining characteristic of this classification is the physical form of the product: compressed into a cubed shape, which is typically for ease of handling, storage, and feeding purposes in animal husbandry.

The distinction between this category and its sibling, 1214.10.00.50 "Other," lies in the specific presentation of the forage material. While the sibling category would encompass any other form of alfalfa meal and pellets not fitting the "cubes" description, this node is exclusively for the cubed presentation. This implies that the manufacturing process has resulted in a distinct, uniformly shaped product that sets it apart from other forms like loose meal or other pellet sizes.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 1214.10.00.30 is final for cubed forage products originating from the specified raw materials under heading 1214. It is important to ensure that the product is indeed presented in a cube form and is derived from the enumerated forage materials for correct classification.
