Heading 1007 covers grain sorghum — the mature, harvested grain used for feed, food, or industrial purposes. Sweet sorghum grown for syrup and forage sorghum harvested as fodder are classified elsewhere. The key factor is whether the product is the dry grain intended for grain-trade uses.

Seed sorghum for sowing (100710) requires a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization and may require an import permit from USDA APHIS. The seed must be free of regulated pests and weed seeds, and inspections are conducted at the port of entry.
