U.S. imports of grain milling & cereal working machinery (non-farm) (SITC 72711) totaled $1.8M in July 2026, traded with 29 countries.

Grain Milling & Cereal Working Machinery (Non-Farm) imports of $1.8M in July 2026 ran 27% below the year-to-date monthly average of $2.4M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataIndustrial-scale roller mills, plansifters, purifiers, and dehulling equipment used in flour milling, semolina production, and dried-legume processing fall within this heading — explicitly excluding farm-type machinery used at the point of harvest. These machines are capital-intensive assets central to the global food-processing infrastructure, and their procurement often involves long lead times and project-based sourcing from specialized manufacturers. Trade professionals should note that the non-farm restriction is a key classification boundary: on-farm grain cleaners or combine attachments belong in agricultural machinery headings rather than here.

Farm-type machinery is designed for field or on-farm use — such as combine harvesters, grain cleaners attached to combines, or portable threshers — and is classified under agricultural machinery headings. Industrial grain milling machinery (72711) is designed for fixed, commercial-scale processing facilities such as flour mills, feed mills, or legume-processing plants, regardless of where it is physically located.
Large milling systems often arrive disassembled across multiple shipments. CBP allows importers to classify the complete machine under a single heading using the 'unassembled goods' rule (GRI 2(a)), provided the components are imported together or under a single contract and are clearly identified as parts of a complete system. Advance coordination with a customs broker is advisable to avoid misclassification of individual components.
