Wheat & Meslin (Non-Durum, Non-Seed)

For Grade 1 Red Spring wheat, the schedule separates shipments with protein at or below 12.9% (1001990010), between 12.9% and 13.9% (1001990017), and above 13.9% (1001990018) by weight. Grade 2 has analogous protein-banded lines. Importers should obtain a recognized grain laboratory analysis certificate to substantiate the declared protein level and avoid reclassification at entry.

The US schedule carves out specific lines for Canadian Western Extra-Strong Hard Red Spring Wheat (1001990005) and Canadian Western Red Winter Wheat (1001990055) because these are registered, trademarked variety classes with defined quality specifications under the Canada Grain Act. Their distinct milling and end-use profiles — particularly gluten strength — warranted separate tariff treatment to facilitate accurate trade statistics and duty administration.
