HTS 100821 covers all millet species intended for sowing — pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum), proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), foxtail millet (Setaria italica), finger millet (Eleusine coracana), and others — under a single 10-digit line (1008210000). Species identity does not change the tariff classification, but APHIS phytosanitary requirements and any applicable import permit conditions may differ by species and origin, so importers should verify requirements for each specific variety.
Millet seed for sowing (1008210000) must be presented as certified planting material and is subject to APHIS phytosanitary controls, including a phytosanitary certificate and potentially an import permit. Millet for food or feed use is classified under 1008290000 and is subject to FDA oversight rather than APHIS seed-import rules. Misclassifying food-grade millet as sowing seed — or vice versa — can trigger compliance issues at the port.
