Related Products under HTS 1207.40.00.90

Hulled White Sesame Seeds

Hulled white sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum) are sesame seeds with the outer hull removed, resulting in a lighter color and milder flavor. They are classified under HTS 1207.40.00.90 as 'other' sesame seeds, distinct from black sesame seeds in 1207.40.00.40, and used in baking, toppings, and tahini production.

Natural Unhulled Sesame Seeds

Natural unhulled sesame seeds retain their outer hull, providing higher fiber and calcium content, ideal for roasting or oil pressing. Classified under HTS 1207.40.00.90 as 'other' sesame seeds, they differ from hulled or black varieties.

Toasted Sesame Seeds (Raw)

Lightly toasted sesame seeds that remain raw and unbroken, enhancing flavor for culinary use without full cooking. They fall under HTS 1207.40.00.90 as 'other' sesame seeds since minimal processing does not alter their raw oil seed status.

Organic Hulled Sesame Seeds

Certified organic hulled sesame seeds grown without synthetic pesticides, hulled for purity in health food applications. Classified in HTS 1207.40.00.90 as other sesame seeds, meeting organic standards under raw oil seeds.

Broken Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds that are cracked or broken during harvest or handling, still suitable for oil extraction. HTS 1207.40.00.90 covers 'whether or not broken' other sesame seeds, including these fragments.

Brown Sesame Seeds

Brown sesame seeds, a natural unhulled variety with nutty flavor for baking and confections. As non-black sesame, they are 'other' under HTS 1207.40.00.90.
