Last updated: August 2026 dataWheat is a foundational grain commodity in US agriculture and trade, classified under NAICS 111140, encompassing hard red winter, soft red winter, hard red spring, durum, and white wheat varieties — each commanding distinct milling premiums and end-use specifications. Protein content, moisture levels, and test weight are the primary grade determinants that drive contract pricing and import admissibility decisions. FDA oversight applies to imported wheat intended for human consumption, and USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements govern grain shipments for pest and disease risk at the border.

USDA grain grades for wheat hinge on test weight per bushel, protein content, moisture, and the presence of damaged kernels or foreign material. Hard red spring and durum wheats carry higher protein premiums for bread and pasta milling, while soft wheats are graded for pastry and cracker applications. Importers should confirm grade certificates from the country of origin align with USDA Federal Grain Inspection Service (FGIS) standards.
USDA APHIS requires phytosanitary certificates for imported wheat to certify freedom from regulated pests such as Karnal bunt and wheat streak mosaic virus. Shipments may be subject to treatment or rejection if prohibited organisms are detected at the port of entry. Importers should coordinate with APHIS-approved inspection services well in advance of shipment.
