Classification is determined at the time of importation based on the goods as presented, not on subsequent use. Barley entered as seed under 1003100000 cannot be retroactively reclassified as feed barley under heading 100390 after entry. If the intended use changes before importation, the correct heading should be declared at the time of filing.
A phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of the exporting country is standard. USDA APHIS may also require additional declarations or treatments depending on the origin country's pest status, particularly for smut and bunt pathogens. Consult a licensed customs broker or APHIS before importing.
