Last updated: April 2026 dataCommodity grain sorghum not intended for planting — covering feed-grade, food-grade, and industrial-use grain — is classified under a single line (1007900000) and serves as a cost-competitive substitute for corn in livestock feed rations and ethanol production. India and China are the leading US import sources for this commodity, a somewhat unusual supply pattern given that the US is itself a major sorghum exporter; import flows tend to reflect specialty food-grade or specific-variety demand rather than bulk feed volumes. The commodity is not subject to mandatory admissibility review by a food-safety agency when imported for non-food industrial use, but food-grade shipments fall under FDA oversight.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
US sorghum imports are generally small in volume and driven by niche demand — for example, specific food-grade varieties, specialty colors (white sorghum for certain food applications), or organic-certified grain not available domestically in sufficient quantity. Bulk feed-grade sorghum imports are uncommon given domestic production levels; most import activity reflects specialty or certified-grade procurement.
Food-grade grain sorghum imported for human consumption is subject to FDA prior notice requirements under the Bioterrorism Act and must comply with applicable food-safety regulations. Importers should file prior notice through FDA's Prior Notice System Interface (PNSI) before arrival and be prepared to provide supplier attestations, pesticide residue certificates, and country-of-origin documentation. Consulting a licensed customs broker familiar with FDA grain entries is advisable.
