NAICSSector 11
U.S. imports of other grains (NAICS 111199) totaled $45.8M in April 2026, traded with 44 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAt the six-digit NAICS level, code 111199 covers farming establishments producing grains outside the major categories of wheat, corn, and rice — including sorghum, oats, barley, rye, and specialty grains like quinoa and amaranth. Specialty ancient grains have grown in commercial importance as food-ingredient demand has risen, and their import classification requires careful attention to whether the product is traded as raw grain, flour, or a processed food ingredient. FDA food facility registration and prior notice requirements apply to all imported grain products entering human food channels.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Whole, unprocessed quinoa and amaranth seeds are classified under HTS Chapter 10 (cereals) or Chapter 12 (oil seeds and miscellaneous grains) depending on their primary use, while flours and processed forms fall under Chapter 11 or Chapter 19. The correct classification depends on the degree of processing and the product's commercial description. Misclassification between raw grain and processed ingredient headings can result in different duty rates and FDA entry review pathways, so consultation with a licensed customs broker is advisable.
All food facilities that manufacture, process, pack, or hold food for US consumption — including foreign grain exporters — must register with FDA under the Bioterrorism Act. Importers must also submit FDA Prior Notice before or at the time of arrival. Specialty grain shipments may be subject to FDA examination or sampling, particularly from origins with a history of mycotoxin or pesticide residue findings.
