1001.99.00 - Other

This category, HTS 1001.99.00, encompasses all wheat and meslin that does not fall under the specific classifications of seed. It serves as a residual category for various types of wheat intended for consumption, processing, or other non-seed uses. This includes common wheat varieties not specifically designated for sowing, as well as meslin, which is a mixture of wheat and rye.

Unlike its sibling category, HTS 1001.91.00.00, which is exclusively for seed wheat intended for propagation, this classification covers wheat where the primary purpose is not cultivation. The distinction lies in the intended use and, often, in the quality and certification standards applied to seed-grade grains. Wheat classified here is typically destined for milling into flour, animal feed, or industrial uses.

Within this broad category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification based on specific characteristics and origins. The subcategories, such as "Canadian western extra strong hard red spring (CWES/HRS) wheat," are established to recognize distinct market classes or types of wheat that possess unique physical and compositional attributes. These specific classifications allow for more precise tracking and reporting of distinct wheat commodities entering international trade.
