Last updated: April 2026 data

Durum wheat seed — the hard, high-protein variety used primarily for semolina and pasta production — is classified at tariff line 1001110000 and is subject to tariff-rate-quota treatment that distinguishes it from other wheat categories in Chapter 10. Canada is the dominant supplier by a wide margin, a position reinforced by USMCA's preferential treatment for Canadian-origin agricultural goods. Imports from Canada and Mexico may qualify for preferential duty treatment under USMCA, while above-quota shipments from other origins face significantly higher duties. USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements apply to seed-grade wheat, and importers must ensure shipments are accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the tariff-rate-quota work for durum wheat seed, and when does the higher out-of-quota rate apply?

Durum wheat seed is subject to a TRQ under which a set volume may enter at a lower in-quota duty rate; imports above that threshold face a substantially higher out-of-quota rate. The TRQ is administered by USDA, and importers must obtain a TRQ license or allocation before shipping above-quota volumes. Canada benefits from quota-free access under USMCA, which is why it dominates supply.

What phytosanitary documentation is required for durum wheat seed imports?

USDA APHIS requires a phytosanitary certificate issued by the national plant protection organization of the exporting country, certifying that the seed is free from regulated pests and diseases. Depending on origin, additional APHIS permits or treatment requirements (such as fumigation) may apply. Importers should confirm current APHIS requirements well in advance, as conditions of entry can change based on pest-risk assessments.
