Overview
This classification, HTS Code 1302.19.21.00, specifically designates extracts derived from poppy straw. Poppy straw itself is the dried or partially dried, harvested plant material of *Papaver somniferum L.*, excluding the seeds. These extracts are obtained through various processes to isolate and concentrate specific compounds from the poppy straw, such as alkaloids. Their classification under "Other" within the broader category of "Vegetable saps and extracts" signifies that they are not specifically listed under other more defined subheadings.
The distinction between this category and its sibling, 1302.19.41 (Other), lies in the specific origin and nature of the extract. While 1302.19.41 might encompass other vegetable extracts not otherwise specified, 1302.19.21.00 is precisely for those derived from poppy straw, often for their alkaloid content. This level of specificity is crucial for accurate duty assessment and trade statistics, ensuring that the unique properties and uses of poppy straw extracts are properly identified.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within 1302.19.21.00 is definitive once it is established that the substance is an extract derived from poppy straw and does not fall under any more specific tariff provisions. Therefore, importers and exporters must ensure a clear understanding of the source material and extraction process to correctly assign goods to this HTS code.
