U.S. imports of prepared cereals in grain form, not elsewhere specified (excluding corn) (HS 190490) totaled $35.4M in July 2026, traded with 42 countries.
Importers of Prepared Cereals in Grain Form, Not Elsewhere Specified (Excluding Corn) paid $3.1M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 16% on $19.4M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataPre-cooked or otherwise prepared cereals presented in grain form — covering grains such as rice, oats, barley, and quinoa when processed beyond raw milling but not puffed or roasted — fall here as a residual heading that excludes corn and bulgur wheat. The two US lines separate frozen preparations (1904900120) from non-frozen (1904900140), a distinction with direct cold-chain and storage implications. Canada leads supply, with South Korea, Spain, Thailand, and Mexico rounding out the top sources — a geographically diverse mix reflecting the wide variety of grain types and preparation styles captured by this residual heading.

190490 covers pre-cooked or otherwise prepared cereals in grain form other than corn and bulgur wheat — so products based on rice, oats, barley, rye, quinoa, or sorghum in grain form can fall here. Corn-based grain preparations have their own classification elsewhere in Chapter 19, and bulgur wheat is specifically carved out to 190430. The 'grain form' requirement also excludes flaked or puffed products, which belong under 190410 or 190420.
CBP expects the commercial invoice and packing list to clearly state the temperature condition of the goods — frozen products must be declared and transported under refrigerated conditions consistent with their frozen status. If a product arrives at ambient temperature but was declared frozen, or vice versa, CBP may reclassify between 1904900120 and 1904900140, potentially affecting the applicable duty rate.
