Last updated: April 2026 dataA residual SITC category capturing oilseeds and oil-bearing fruits not classified elsewhere — including hemp seed, poppy seed, niger seed, and tung nuts — this heading serves as the trade classification home for specialty and minor oilseeds that feed niche industrial, pharmaceutical, and artisan food markets. Because the heading aggregates diverse botanical commodities, importers must verify HTS classification at the 10-digit level for each specific seed type, as duty rates and admissibility requirements vary. USDA APHIS phytosanitary rules apply broadly, and seeds intended for planting face additional permit requirements distinct from those for crushing or food use.

Because this heading aggregates many distinct seed types, the corresponding HTS schedule assigns different 10-digit tariff lines — and potentially different duty rates or trade-remedy exposure — to individual commodities. Misclassifying a specialty oilseed can result in underpayment of duties or incorrect admissibility routing, so importers should work with a licensed customs broker to confirm the correct line for each specific product.
Yes. Seeds intended for propagation are subject to USDA APHIS import permit requirements and more stringent phytosanitary conditions than seeds imported for crushing or consumption. Importers must declare the intended use and obtain any required permits before shipment to avoid detention or refusal at the port of entry.
