U.S. imports of barley (non-seed) (HS 100390) totaled $4.4M in April 2026, traded with 9 countries.
Malting-grade barley has its own dedicated 10-digit line (1003902000), reflecting its premium commercial role as the primary raw material for beer and whiskey production, while feed and other non-malting barley falls under 1003904000 and its subdivisions — including a certified organic line (1003904020). Canada is the leading US supplier, and South Korea's presence in the top-five reflects demand for specialty barley varieties in Asian-style brewing. Importers of malting barley should be aware that buyers typically require third-party quality analysis (germination rate, protein, moisture) that must align with the declared subheading.

The HTS does not define a specific analytical threshold for 'malting purposes'; classification is based on the commercial presentation and documentation of the goods. In practice, malting barley is supported by a quality certificate showing germination rate, protein content, and moisture within brewing-industry specifications. CBP may request such documentation to substantiate the declared subheading.
Yes. Certified organic barley has a dedicated line (1003904020) within the non-malting barley subdivision. Importers must provide a valid NOP-equivalent organic certificate to support this classification; organic barley that cannot be substantiated with proper certification should be entered under the conventional residual line 1003904030.
