HS Code 1001Wheat and meslin

What HS code 1001 covers

Heading 1001 is the tariff classification for wheat and meslin. It includes wheat grown for food, wheat sold as seed, and meslin, the wheat and rye mixture. Flour and other milled products are not in this heading.

In the HS tree, 1001 sits inside Chapter 10 Cereals. Customs offices in every HS country use this same tree, so the heading means the same thing from one border to the next.

The heading is split into six-digit subheadings. Each one answers two simple questions about the wheat on the invoice.

Durum vs other wheat, seed vs non-seed: choosing the right code

The first question is the type of wheat. Durum wheat is a hard wheat, often used for pasta. Everything else, such as common bread wheat, goes under "other than durum wheat".

The second question is the use. Seed is grain sold to be planted. Non-seed is grain sold for any other use, such as milling or feed.

Put the two answers together and you get the right six-digit code:

• 100111: durum wheat, seed
• 100119: durum wheat, other than seed
• 100191: other wheat, seed
• 100199: other wheat, other than seed

Wheat HSN code and duty: what the six digits tell you

Buyers in India often search for the HSN code for wheat. The heading and its six-digit subheadings are the shared starting point. If your product is wheat or meslin, you begin with 1001 and pick one of the four codes above.

Duty and tax rates are not set at six digits. Each country adds its own national tariff lines beyond the sixth digit, and it sets rates on those lines. Check your destination country's tariff for the full code.

If you are unsure which code fits your goods, try the HS code classifier.

Not wheat? Other cereal headings in Chapter 10

If your grain is not wheat or meslin, one of its neighbours is probably the right heading. Use the description of each one as a guide.

• 1002 Rye: for rye grain on its own
• 1003 Barley: for barley
• 1004 Oats: for oats
• 1005 Maize (corn): for corn
• 1006 Rice: for rice
• 1007 Grain sorghum: for sorghum grain
• 1008 Buckwheat, millet and canary seeds; other cereals: for these small grains and cereals not named elsewhere
