Last updated: August 2026 dataDurum wheat is the hard, high-protein variety milled into semolina for pasta, couscous, and certain specialty breads, and its trade is distinct from common bread wheat in both end-use and pricing. As a bulk agricultural commodity, US imports are subject to USDA APHIS phytosanitary requirements, including import permits and country-specific conditions designed to prevent the introduction of wheat diseases such as Karnal bunt and flag smut. Tariff-rate quota treatment applies to wheat imports above specified thresholds, making quota timing and certificate management important considerations for large-volume buyers. Canada is a major producer and supplier of durum wheat to the US market, with USMCA governing the trade relationship.

304 import shipments a month
APHIS requires that durum wheat imports meet country-specific conditions addressing diseases such as Karnal bunt (Tilletia indica) and flag smut. Depending on origin, shipments may require a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country's national plant protection organization, and APHIS may impose additional treatment or testing requirements. Importers should consult current APHIS import conditions for the specific country of origin before contracting.
US tariff schedules establish an in-quota volume for wheat imports at a lower duty rate, with above-quota shipments subject to a higher rate. Quota allocations are managed on a first-come, first-served or licensed basis depending on the applicable trade agreement. Importers should monitor quota fill levels and secure quota certificates before shipment to avoid the higher above-quota duty.
