HEADING

1001

CHAPTER

10Cereals

In plain English

This heading covers wheat and meslin, which are types of cereals. The goods are divided based on whether they are durum wheat or another variety, and whether they are intended for planting as seed or for other uses. Durum wheat is separated into seed and non-seed categories, while other types of wheat and meslin follow the same distinction between seed and non-seed classifications.

Chapter 10 classification notes

Bulk commodity grain trade — most cross-border volume is B2B under specific origin / destination licensing. Personal-import quantities face phytosanitary rules but little other compliance.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Flour / meal: Chapter 11 (1101-1108), not Chapter 10. Polished / parboiled rice remains 1006. Popcorn kernels: 1005.90.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
