Last updated: April 2026 dataFlours and meals ground from oilseeds other than soybeans or mustard — including hemp seed meal, safflower meal, and similar products — are consolidated under a single 10-digit line (1208900000), making precise end-use documentation important for distinguishing this heading from related oilseed meal classifications. Canada and Mexico are the leading suppliers, reflecting cross-border trade in specialty oilseed processing co-products. As a food and feed ingredient category, FDA prior notice requirements apply to shipments entering human or animal food channels; consult a licensed customs broker or the relevant agency for current admissibility guidance.

This heading captures flours and meals derived from oilseeds other than soybeans and mustard — for example, hemp seed meal, safflower meal, sunflower meal (when in flour/meal form rather than oilcake), and similar specialty products. If the source oilseed has its own dedicated heading (e.g., soybeans under 1208.10), that specific heading takes precedence.
Hemp seed meal derived from industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa with THC content at or below the legal threshold) may be imported under this heading, but importers must ensure the product complies with the 2018 Farm Bill definition of hemp and any applicable FDA food or feed regulations. Documentation of THC content from the supplier is strongly advisable, and a licensed customs broker should be consulted given the evolving regulatory landscape.
