Last updated: April 2026 dataClassified outside the seed-for-sowing heading, these soybeans enter the US under four distinct 10-digit lines — soybean seeds used as oil stock (1201900005), organic soybeans (1201900010), general-purpose soybeans (1201900090), and non-seed soybeans (1201900095) — each carrying different duty treatment. Canada is the dominant nearby supplier, with Argentina and Ukraine representing significant Southern Hemisphere and Eastern European sources. Importers should note that organic lines require USDA National Organic Program certification documentation, and all shipments are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements at entry. The heading is a critical feedstock for domestic crushing, animal feed, and food-ingredient industries.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The four 10-digit lines separate soybeans by intended use and certification: 1201900005 covers seeds used as oil stock, 1201900010 covers certified organic soybeans, 1201900090 covers general non-seed soybeans, and 1201900095 covers non-seed soybeans not elsewhere specified. Correct classification depends on the end use declared at entry and any organic certification held by the exporter.
All soybean shipments must be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate issued by the exporting country's national plant protection organization, and are subject to USDA APHIS inspection at the port of entry. Shipments found to carry regulated pests or diseases may be refused entry or treated at the importer's expense.
