1007 - Grain sorghum:

This HTS category, 1007, encompasses grain sorghum, a versatile cereal grain primarily used for animal feed, food production, and as a biofuel feedstock. Sorghum is distinguished by its grain-like seeds, typically produced in a dense head or panicle. It is crucial to differentiate this category from other cereal grains found in Chapter 10, such as wheat (1001), maize (corn) (1005), and rice (1006), based on the distinct botanical characteristics and specific end-use of sorghum.

Within the 1007 classification, two subcategories exist to further refine the classification based on the intended use and form of the sorghum. The first subcategory, 1007.10.00.00, covers sorghum specifically designated and packaged for seeding purposes. The second subcategory, 1007.90.00.00, includes all other grain sorghum not classified as seed, such as sorghum intended for milling, processing, or direct consumption by livestock. This distinction allows for accurate tariff application based on the commercial disposition of the sorghum.
