Questions about this data
- Which HS codes separate cereal seed from grain?
- Seed-for-sowing subheadings exist for durum wheat (100111), other wheat (100191), barley (100310), oats (100410), maize (100510) and grain sorghum (100710). Rice has no seed-only subheading at the 6-digit level, so it is not shown.
- Is the import unit value a seed price?
- No. It is the customs import value divided by declared net weight, averaged across all varieties, seed classes and origins. Use it to see direction and scale, then compare written supplier quotations for your specification.
- Does this show certified seed?
- No. Customs codes record what was declared as seed for sowing, not certification status, variety or germination. Check certification documents separately.
