Last updated: April 2026 dataRoasted malt — grain that has been kilned at elevated temperatures to develop color, flavor, and aroma compounds — is a specialty ingredient central to dark beer styles such as stouts, porters, and dark lagers. The United Kingdom is the leading US supplier, reflecting its long tradition of producing crystal, chocolate, and black patent malts; Germany and Belgium are also significant sources. All roasted malt enters under tariff line 1107200000, and shipments are subject to FDA Prior Notice and food-facility registration as processed grain ingredients. Roast level (expressed in degrees Lovibond or EBC color units) is the primary commercial specification and should be verified against the certificate of analysis at entry.

The critical distinction is whether the malt has undergone a roasting (high-temperature kilning) step that develops dark color and roasted flavor. Unroasted malt (110710) is dried at lower temperatures and retains enzymatic activity; roasted malt (110720) has been kilned at temperatures that destroy enzymes and produce color compounds. Customs may request a certificate of analysis showing color value (Lovibond/EBC) and enzyme activity to confirm the correct heading.
Mexico's presence among leading suppliers likely reflects proximity-driven trade in roasted malts used by large commercial breweries, where logistics cost and lead time favor nearby sources. The UK and Germany, by contrast, tend to supply higher-specialty roasted varieties (crystal, chocolate, black patent) sought by craft brewers. Importers should specify roast color and origin requirements clearly in purchase contracts.
