About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, 1008.50.00.10, specifically classifies certified organic quinoa. Quinoa, scientifically known as *Chenopodium quinoa*, is a pseudocereal grain valued for its nutritional content and distinct nutty flavor. For an item to fall under this subcategory, it must not only be quinoa but also possess official certification attesting to its organic production methods, adhering to specified agricultural standards that prohibit synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms.

This classification is a specific subset of the broader "Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa)" heading. It is distinguished from its sibling category, 1008.50.00.90 ("Other"), which encompasses all quinoa that does not meet the certified organic standard. Therefore, the key differentiator is the presence of official organic certification.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification decisions at this level are therefore final, relying solely on the confirmed identity of the product as quinoa and its verified organic certification status. This ensures precise tariff application for imported organic quinoa.
