How to choose the right subheading
- Confirm the goods are grain sorghum, not another cereal such as corn, wheat, rice, barley, or millet.
- Decide whether the grain is seed for sowing; that separates 1007.10.00.00 from 1007.90.00.00.
- If the grain is not seed for sowing, classify it as other under 1007.90.00.00.
- Use the declared end use and labeling or seed certification to support the seed vs other choice.
- Classify by the condition at import, not by later processing into flour or feed.
