Triticale — a hybrid of wheat and rye developed for high yield and disease resistance — enters US commerce under tariff line 1008600000 and is primarily used as animal feed grain and, to a lesser extent, in specialty food and brewing applications. As a cereal grain, imports are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements, including import permits and pest-risk documentation to prevent the introduction of grain pests and diseases. The crop's dual-use profile (feed and food) means buyers should confirm end-use specifications, as food-grade triticale may face additional FDA admissibility review.

USDA APHIS regulates the importation of cereal grains including triticale. Importers typically need to obtain an import permit and provide phytosanitary certificates from the exporting country's national plant protection organization. Requirements vary by origin country, so consulting APHIS before shipment is essential.
The majority of traded triticale is destined for animal feed, particularly for ruminants and poultry, due to its high biomass yield. A smaller volume is used in specialty human food products and craft brewing; food-grade shipments may be subject to FDA review in addition to APHIS requirements.
