HS Code 1003Barley
2 six-digit codes · Heading 3 of 8 in Chapter 10 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
Pick 100310 if the barley is seed, and 100390 if it is not.
Heading 1003 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Barley” classify either at 100310 or at 100390, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 3 of 8 in Chapter 10, Cereals, which runs to 26 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 1003 covers
The Harmonized System is a list of names and numbers for traded goods. The World Customs Organization looks after it. Customs offices in most countries use it to sort goods for tariff classification. Heading 1003 is the place for barley. In India you may see the same heading called HSN code 1003.
Barley belongs to Chapter 10, Cereals, which is part of Section II, Vegetable Products. Only barley goes under this heading. Other grains have their own headings, and you can compare them below.
A four-digit heading is a group, not a full code. Most customs forms ask for the six-digit subheading under it.
Six-digit codes under 1003: seed vs other barley
The two subheadings split barley with one question. Is the grain seed? Seed means barley sold to be sown and grown into a new crop.
If the answer is yes, use 100310. If the answer is no, use 100390. That second code covers barley for any other use. There is no third choice under this heading.
A wrong code can cause questions at the border. It can also make a shipment hard to find in trade records later. Duty and tax rules may differ between the two codes. We do not list rates on this page. Check them with your own customs authority. If you are unsure which code fits your goods, try the HS code classifier.
How 1003 differs from other cereal headings
Cereal grains can look alike in a sack, yet each one has its own heading. Use this list to make sure barley is not filed under a neighbour.
- 1001 is for wheat and meslin. Do not use it for barley.
- 1002 is for rye.
- 1004 is for oats.
- 1005 is for maize, also called corn.
- 1006 is for rice.
- 1007 is for grain sorghum.
- Barley has its own heading, so it never goes here.
