Last updated: August 2026 dataBuckwheat, rice, rye, and other specialty cereal flours that fall outside the named wheat and corn headings are consolidated here, with six distinct 10-digit lines covering individual flour types and mixtures. Rice flour (1102902500) is particularly active in the gluten-free food sector, while rye flour (1102902700) serves artisan baking markets — two end-use segments with very different supply-chain profiles. Canada and Thailand are the leading sources, with Thailand's prominence driven by its large-scale rice-milling industry. FDA Prior Notice and facility registration apply to all food-grade shipments, and importers should verify that mixture flours (1102903000) are correctly distinguished from single-grain flours to avoid reclassification. Admissibility and classification for these products can be complex; consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered import specialist.

CBP generally classifies a flour under the specific single-grain line (e.g., rice flour or buckwheat flour) when one grain predominates and the product is commercially marketed as that grain's flour. Once two or more non-wheat cereal flours are intentionally combined in commercially significant proportions, the mixture line (1102903000) typically applies. Importers should document the exact composition and processing method to support the declared classification.
Buckwheat is not classified as one of the nine major food allergens under US law, but it is a significant allergen in some consumer populations and may require labeling disclosures depending on the finished product's intended use. FDA may sample buckwheat flour shipments for pesticide residues or mycotoxins. Importers should ensure the foreign facility is FDA-registered and that Prior Notice is filed before the shipment arrives at the US port of entry.
