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.
