Last updated: July 2026 dataCommon bread wheat, club wheat, spelt, and meslin (a wheat-rye blend) that have not yet been milled into flour fall under this residual heading, which captures the bulk of global wheat trade outside the durum category. USDA APHIS phytosanitary controls — including disease-specific import conditions for Karnal bunt and other regulated pests — apply at entry, with requirements varying by country of origin. Like durum, these wheats are subject to tariff-rate quota provisions that can materially affect landed cost for above-quota volumes. Spelt, an ancient grain variety experiencing growing retail demand, shares this heading with conventional bread wheat despite its distinct agronomic and nutritional profile.

At the SITC level, spelt falls within this same heading alongside common wheat and meslin. At the HTS level, spelt may map to a specific tariff line distinct from other wheat varieties, which can affect the applicable duty rate and quota eligibility. Importers of spelt should confirm the correct 10-digit HTS classification with a licensed customs broker.
Meslin is a mixture of wheat and rye grown or harvested together, traditionally used in certain European bread traditions. It classifies here alongside wheat rather than under rye, and it is subject to the same APHIS phytosanitary entry conditions as other unmilled wheat. If the rye component dominates, classification may shift, so the actual grain composition should be documented on the commercial invoice.
