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