1214.10.00.60 - Other 🖩

This HTS classification, HTS Code 1214.10.00.60, pertains to "Other" alfalfa (lucerne) meal and pellets that do not fall under the "Sun-cured" designation. This category encompasses alfalfa meal and pellets that have been processed using methods other than direct sun-drying. Such methods might include artificial drying or other forms of processing designed to preserve the nutritional content and usability of the forage.

The key distinction between this "Other" category and its sibling, "Sun-cured," lies solely in the method of drying employed. While both result in alfalfa meal or pellets intended for fodder use, the "Sun-cured" classification specifically requires the use of natural sunlight as the primary drying agent. This "Other" category is therefore a catch-all for all other processed alfalfa meal and pellets.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification is complete at this level, with the determination being whether the alfalfa meal and pellets are sun-cured or processed by alternative means. Importers should carefully consider the drying methodology used during the production process to ensure accurate classification.
