U.S. imports of oats (non-seed) (HS 100490) totaled $28.2M in April 2026, traded with 9 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataNon-seed oats — split between certified organic (1004900010) and conventional (1004900090) at the 10-digit level — serve the food manufacturing, animal feed, and health food sectors, with rolled oats and oat flour demand driving significant import volumes. Canada is by far the dominant supplier, reflecting its position as one of the world's largest oat producers; Sweden and Spain also contribute, particularly for specialty or organic grades. The organic line's separate classification means importers must maintain valid organic certification documentation to avoid reclassification into the conventional line.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
To enter oats under the certified organic line (1004900010), importers must present a valid organic certificate issued by an accredited certifying agent recognized under the USDA National Organic Program, along with a transaction certificate for the specific shipment. Without these documents, CBP will typically reclassify the goods into the conventional non-seed oats line.
Because Canada supplies the large majority of US oat imports, crop conditions in the Canadian prairies — particularly drought or early frost — can rapidly tighten availability and push up prices for both conventional and organic grades. Food manufacturers with significant oat requirements often use forward contracts or maintain safety stock to buffer against Canadian harvest variability.
