Millet (Other Than Seed for Sowing)

Importers should include a commercial invoice and purchase order that clearly state the intended end-use (e.g., human food, animal feed, or birdseed) and confirm the grain is not certified planting seed. Supplier documentation showing the grain is not treated with fungicides or other seed treatments — which are standard for sowing seed — also supports the food/feed classification. CBP and APHIS may request this documentation if the shipment's presentation is ambiguous.

As of current trade schedules, millet grain for food and feed use is not broadly subject to antidumping or countervailing duty orders in the US. However, importers sourcing from China should monitor USTR Section 301 tariff lists, as agricultural commodities from China can be affected by list modifications. Consulting a licensed customs broker before booking shipments from affected origins is recommended.
