HS Code 1007Grain sorghum
2 six-digit codes · Heading 7 of 8 in Chapter 10 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 1007 is the heading for grain sorghum, a crop that Indian traders call jowar. Use this page to pick the right code, avoid mixing it up with millet, and find trade records.
Heading 1007 splits exactly two ways. Goods answering to “Grain sorghum” classify either at 100710 or at 100790, and the wording in the table below is the whole of what separates them. The heading is number 7 of 8 in Chapter 10, Cereals, which runs to 26 six-digit codes in all.
What HS code 1007 covers
The Harmonized System gives every traded product a numbered code, and customs offices around the world use it. Heading 1007 is where grain sorghum goes. People search for it as the sorghum HS code, HSN 1007 or HTS 1007. All of these point to the same heading.
In India, sorghum is widely called jowar. That is why many buyers ask for the jowar HSN code. The answer is the same: jowar is grain sorghum, so it belongs here.
The path is easy to follow. The heading sits under vegetable products, then cereals, then grain sorghum. Its neighbours are other cereals such as wheat, rye and maize.
Import duty and tax depend on the country that receives the goods. This page does not list rates. If you are not sure your product fits, check it with the HS code classifier.
HS 100710 vs 100790: seed or other than seed
The difference between HS 100710 and 100790 comes down to what the grain is for. This is seed sold to be planted. If you need the HS code for sorghum seed for sowing, this is the one.
Any sorghum that is not sold as seed goes here.
To choose, look at how the goods are sold and described on the invoice and product papers. Seed for planting goes to 100710. All other sorghum goes to 100790. A wrong choice can cause delays at the border, so check twice. When in doubt, ask your customs broker or run the product through the classifier.
Is millet classified under HS 1007 or 1008?
Millet is not part of 1007. It is listed in heading 1008, together with buckwheat, canary seeds and other cereals. Sorghum and millet are different crops, so keep them apart when you set a code.
Other common cereals also have their own headings. Wheat is in 1001 and barley is in 1003. Maize is in 1005 and rice is in 1006. Read the heading text first, then pick the six-digit code below it.
- Millet and other cereals: heading 1008
- Maize (corn): heading 1005
- Rice: heading 1006
- Wheat and meslin: heading 1001
- Barley: heading 1003
