HS-4 · Heading
1007 — Grain sorghum
Chapter 10: Cereals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 1007 when importing or exporting grain sorghum, such as a shipment of 50 tons of sorghum for animal feed. This heading includes both seed and non-seed varieties, making it essential to classify correctly based on your product's end use.
To differentiate between the HS-6 lines, consider whether your shipment is intended for planting or other uses. If you have grain sorghum intended for sowing, use HS-6 100710 for seed. For all other forms, such as grain for consumption or feed, select HS-6 100790.
When deciding between these two subheadings, check the product's packaging and documentation. Seed typically comes in bags labeled for planting, while non-seed grain may be bulk or packaged for sale as animal feed or food products.
