1001 — Wheat and meslin
Chapter 10: Cereals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 1001 when importing wheat and meslin, such as durum wheat for planting or milling. This classification is crucial for determining the correct duties and regulations based on the type of wheat you are dealing with.
When deciding between HS-6 100111 and 100119, consider whether your durum wheat is intended for seed or other uses. If you are importing durum wheat specifically for planting, use 100111; otherwise, choose 100119 for durum wheat not intended for seed.
For non-durum wheat, the choice lies between HS-6 100191 and 100199. If your shipment includes seed of non-durum wheat, opt for 100191. If it’s for other purposes, 100199 is the correct classification.
Understanding these distinctions is essential for compliance with import regulations and for accurate tariff assessments. Ensure you have the right documentation to support your classification.
