Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 100860 when importing or exporting triticale, a hybrid cereal grain that combines wheat and rye characteristics. For example, a shipment of triticale grain in bulk for animal feed would fall under this code.

Triticale is distinct from other grains like millet or buckwheat, which are classified under different HS-6 codes. If you’re dealing with pure triticale products, this is the specific classification you need.

This HS-6 line specifically covers triticale in various forms, including whole grain, flour, or processed products. It’s important to note that mixtures containing other cereals may require different classifications.

When shipping triticale, ensure your documentation accurately reflects the product type, as this can affect duties and compliance. Misclassification can lead to delays or penalties.
