Malt, Not Roasted

U.S. imports of malt, not roasted (HS 110710) totaled $16.7M in April 2026, traded with 15 countries.

Last updated: April 2026 data

Unroasted malt — barley or other grain that has been germinated and dried but not kilned to a roasted color — is a foundational brewing and distilling input, providing the enzymatic activity and fermentable sugars that define base malt character. Canada is the dominant supplier to the US market, benefiting from USMCA proximity and large malting barley acreage, with Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands also contributing specialty and high-modification malts. Importers should be aware that malt moisture content and diastatic power specifications are closely monitored by craft and industrial brewers, making certificate-of-analysis documentation a standard commercial requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes unroasted malt (1107.10) from roasted malt (1107.20) for classification purposes?

The dividing line is the kilning process: unroasted malt has been germinated and dried at low temperatures to preserve enzymatic activity, while roasted malt has been kilned at higher temperatures that destroy enzymes and develop color and flavor. The color (measured in Lovibond or EBC units) and diastatic power on the certificate of analysis are the practical indicators CBP and importers use to confirm the correct heading.

Are there any phytosanitary or APHIS requirements for importing malt into the US?

Because malt is a processed grain product (germinated and dried), it generally does not trigger the same APHIS live-plant quarantine requirements as raw grain seed. However, importers should confirm with APHIS whether any specific pest or disease concerns apply to the country of origin, as admissibility conditions can change. FDA also has jurisdiction over malt as a food ingredient, requiring facility registration and Prior Notice filing.
