Last updated: April 2026 dataWheat gluten — the viscoelastic protein complex isolated from wheat flour — is a critical functional ingredient in baking, meat analogues, and animal feed, and its US tariff schedule reflects these distinct end-uses. The schedule splits the heading into animal-feed grade (1109001000), certified organic (1109009010), and other non-organic (1109009020) lines, each carrying potentially different duty treatment. Australia and Germany are the leading suppliers, with Lithuania and Canada also notable sources. Importers should confirm whether shipments destined for animal feed are properly documented under the feed-grade line, as misclassification between food and feed uses is a common compliance issue.

To use the animal-feed tariff line, importers typically need a commercial invoice or certificate of analysis confirming the product is intended and suitable for animal feed use. USDA APHIS may have additional requirements if the product contains plant material subject to phytosanitary controls, and FDA's animal feed regulations may apply depending on the species for which the feed is intended.
Yes — the US schedule specifically separates certified organic wheat gluten (1109009010) from non-organic (1109009020). Importers claiming the organic line must hold valid USDA National Organic Program (NOP) certification documentation for the foreign producer, and the product must be accompanied by an NOP import certificate or equivalent organic system plan documentation.
