HS-4 · Heading
1002 — Rye
Chapter 10: Cereals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 1002 when importing rye, such as whole rye grains for milling or rye seed for planting. Understanding the specific classification is crucial to ensure compliance with customs regulations.
When deciding between HS-6 100210 and HS-6 100290, consider the purpose of your shipment. If you are importing rye specifically for planting, choose 100210 for rye seed. For other rye products, such as rye flour or whole grains, select 100290.
The distinction between these two subheadings hinges on the intended use of the rye. If your shipment involves rye that is not intended for planting, it will fall under 100290. This includes processed rye products or grains meant for consumption.
