If for specific cherry or grape tomato sub-varieties

Detailed HTS splits within 1209.91.80 for tomato seeds; variety determines exact 10-digit code.

0708.10.20Same rate: 35%

If imported as fresh tomato fruits rather than seeds

Fresh leguminous vegetables or tomatoes fall under Chapter 7, explicitly excluded from heading 1209 even if for sowing.

If classified as grass or herbage seeds erroneously

Heading 1209 distinguishes vegetable seeds (1209.91) from others; improper grouping changes classification.
