Last updated: April 2026 dataUnroasted malt — barley or other grain that has been steeped, germinated, and dried but not kilned to color — is the foundational brewing ingredient for lager, ale, and distilled spirits production. Canada dominates US supply, with Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium, and the Netherlands rounding out the principal sources, reflecting Europe's deep malting infrastructure. Importers should note that unroasted malt enters under a single 10-digit line (1107100000) and is subject to FDA food-facility registration requirements as a processed grain product. Moisture content, diastatic power, and extract yield are the key specification parameters that determine suitability for specific brewing or distilling applications.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Diastatic power — the enzymatic strength of the malt — does not change the HTS classification (all unroasted malt falls under 1107100000), but it is a critical purchase specification. High-diastatic malt commands a premium for adjunct-heavy brewing recipes, while lower-enzyme base malts suit all-malt breweries. Importers should confirm diastatic power in the certificate of analysis to ensure the shipment meets the buyer's technical requirements.
Yes. Unroasted malt is a processed food ingredient subject to FDA's Prior Notice of Imported Food requirements under the Bioterrorism Act, and the foreign manufacturing facility must be registered with FDA. Shipments may be held at the port pending FDA review. Consult a licensed customs broker or FDA-registered agent to ensure compliance before the first shipment.
