Heading 1004 — Oats
Chapter 10: Cereals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 100410 when importing or exporting oats specifically intended for sowing. This includes seeds packaged for agricultural use, such as bulk bags or smaller retail packages. For example, if you're shipping 500 kg of oat seeds in 25 kg bags, this is the correct code.
This code falls under the 10 chapter for cereals and the 1004 heading for oats, which narrows the focus to oats specifically. If you are dealing with processed oats for human consumption, you would look at different codes like 1008.
The 100410 classification is strictly for seeds, distinguishing it from other oat products. For instance, if you have oats for animal feed, you would classify those under a different HS code, such as 1004.90.
When considering oats for sowing, ensure that the seeds meet any phytosanitary regulations required by the importing country. This may include certifications or treatment details.
