Chapter 12 classification notes

Seed-for-sowing import (1209) requires phytosanitary certification in almost every destination. Industrial-hemp seed (sterilised, < 0.3% THC) is treated as food in many jurisdictions but restricted in Asia / GCC.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Roasted peanuts / nut butter: Chapter 20. Dried spices and seasoning seeds (cumin, fennel): Chapter 09 (spices). Oilseed-derived oils move to Chapter 15.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
