Last updated: August 2026 dataBulgur wheat — whole or cracked durum wheat that has been parboiled, dried, and sometimes further milled — occupies a single 10-digit line (1904300000), reflecting its status as a distinct, traditionally processed grain rather than a generic cereal preparation. Turkey is by far the dominant supplier, consistent with its role as the historical center of bulgur production and export, with Italy and Brazil also appearing among leading sources. The pre-cooking step that defines bulgur distinguishes it from cracked wheat or semolina and is the key classification fact that keeps it in Chapter 19 rather than Chapter 10 (cereals) or Chapter 11 (milling products).

The defining characteristic of bulgur is the pre-cooking (parboiling) step applied to the whole wheat kernel before drying and cracking. Cracked wheat that has not been parboiled is classified in Chapter 11 as a milling product, while semolina is a milled flour product. The pre-cooked nature of bulgur places it firmly in Chapter 19 as a prepared cereal food.
As of current trade policy, bulgur wheat from Turkey is not subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders specific to this product. However, importers should verify current CBP and USTR guidance, as Section 232 or Section 301 measures can be modified, and Turkey's status under various preference programs has changed over time. A licensed customs broker can confirm the current duty and trade-remedy landscape.
