Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 100199 when importing or exporting non-durum wheat and meslin that is not intended for seed. For example, if you're shipping a bulk load of soft wheat for flour production, this code applies.
This code specifically covers cereals like wheat and meslin, excluding durum wheat and seed varieties. If you're dealing with durum wheat, you would need to look at a different HS code, such as 1001.10.
When classifying products under this code, consider the end-use. Non-durum wheat is commonly used for making bread, pastries, and other baked goods, while meslin, a mix of wheat and rye, may be used for specialty flours.
If you're unsure whether your product qualifies under this code, check if it falls under the broader category of wheat and meslin. Products like whole grain flour or wheat bran might require different classifications.
