Blue Poppy Seeds

Blue poppy seeds (Papaver somniferum) are small, kidney-shaped oil seeds harvested from the poppy plant, primarily used in baking and culinary applications. They fall under HTS 1207.91.00.00 as other oil seeds, specifically poppy seeds, whether or not broken, due to their high oil content and classification as oleaginous fruits in Chapter 12.

White Poppy Seeds

White poppy seeds are light-colored oil seeds from Papaver somniferum, milder in flavor than blue varieties and commonly used in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Classified under HTS 1207.91.00.00 as poppy seeds, they qualify as other oil seeds due to their oleaginous nature for oil extraction or direct food use.

Organic Poppy Seeds

Certified organic poppy seeds are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, suitable for health-conscious baking and oil production. They are imported under HTS 1207.91.00.00 as standard poppy seeds, with organic certification handled separately from tariff classification.

Broken poppy seeds, cracked during harvesting or processing, retain full oil content for easier integration into recipes or oil pressing. Explicitly included in HTS 1207.91.00.00 as poppy seeds, whether or not broken, distinguishing from intact forms only in physical state.
