Soybeans (Non-Seed)

Organic soybeans are classified under 1201900010, which requires USDA National Organic Program certification documentation. Conventional commodity soybeans fall under 1201900090 or 1201900095 depending on whether they are excluded from the seed provision. Misclassifying organic product as conventional — or vice versa — can result in both duty discrepancies and NOP compliance issues.

Soybeans from certain origins have been subject to Section 301 tariff actions as part of broader US-China trade tensions. Importers should verify the current status of any applicable Section 301 measures for their specific country of origin and HTS line before entry, as rates and product coverage have changed over time. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable given the evolving nature of these measures.
