Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 100119 when importing or exporting durum wheat that is not intended for seed. This includes durum wheat in bulk or packaged for human consumption, such as flour or pasta products. For example, if you're shipping 20 tons of durum wheat for milling, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers durum wheat, which is known for its high protein content and is primarily used in making pasta. In contrast, HS-6 100111 applies to durum wheat intended for seed, which has different regulatory requirements.
When classifying durum wheat under this heading, note that it excludes other types of wheat like common wheat, which falls under HS-6 100121. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for compliance and accurate tariff application.
If you're dealing with durum wheat products, ensure that your documentation specifies the end use. For instance, durum wheat packaged for retail sale as pasta should be clearly labeled to avoid misclassification.
