Last updated: August 2026 dataCouscous — semolina granules traditionally steamed and dried — holds its own dedicated 10-digit line (1902400000) within the pasta and similar products chapter, reflecting its distinct processing method and commercial identity separate from pasta shapes or noodles. Both raw (uncooked) and prepared (pre-cooked, instant, or flavored) forms are captured within this single line, simplifying classification but requiring importers to confirm that the product is genuinely couscous rather than a similar granulated grain product that might fall elsewhere. FDA governs admissibility of imported grain-based food products, and labeling must comply with US food-labeling standards including ingredient and allergen declarations.

No — the heading explicitly covers couscous 'whether or not prepared,' so both traditional dried couscous and instant or pre-cooked varieties fall within this single tariff line. The preparation state does not change the classification.
FDA requires prior notice for imported food products, and couscous must comply with US food-labeling regulations including net-weight, ingredient, and allergen declarations. Shipments may be subject to FDA examination at the port of entry. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent to ensure full compliance before importation.
