HS Code 1004Oats
2 six-digit codes · Heading 4 of 8 in Chapter 10 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 1004 is the customs heading for oats, and some countries call it HSN code 1004. Use this page to pick the right six-digit code and to find who trades oats.
Heading 1004 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Oats” classify either at 100410 or at 100490, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 4 of 8 in Chapter 10, Cereals, which runs to 26 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 1004 covers
The Harmonized System, or HS, is a shared list of product codes. The World Customs Organization keeps it up to date. Almost every country uses it for tariff classification. Traders also write the code on invoices, packing lists and shipping papers.
The system works like a path from wide to narrow. A chapter groups a family of goods. A heading picks out one product inside that chapter. Subheadings then split the product into finer types. This is the WCO classification hierarchy. For oats, the path ends at the subheadings 100410 and 100490.
Some countries, such as India, say HSN instead of HS. The code for oats is the same in both names.
100410 vs 100490: how to choose
Only one question matters here. Are the oats seed, or are they not? The answer decides your code. Use this short path:
- Oats sold as seed, meant for sowing: use 100410.
- Oats for any other use: use 100490.
- Not oats at all: leave this heading and pick the right one from the next section.
Other cereals: when oats are the wrong heading
Cereals look alike, and mix-ups are common. If your goods are not oats, one of these headings is a better fit:
- 1001 for wheat and meslin
- 1002 for rye
- 1003 for barley
- 1005 for maize (corn)
- 1006 for rice
- 1007 for grain sorghum
- 1008 for buckwheat, millet and canary seeds, and other cereals
