HTS heading 1002 is the four-digit category for rye. It groups rye products at a broad level, before the tariff schedule distinguishes the product’s specific form or intended classification, such as rye used as seed versus other rye.
To reach the correct eight-digit subheading, start by confirming that the merchandise is actually rye rather than another grain or a mixture. Then review the relevant lower-level descriptions and determine the product’s condition, presentation, and stated use. The complete HTSUS may also include additional digits for statistical reporting, so check the full current listing rather than relying only on the four-digit heading.
What to check
- Confirm the product is rye and identify whether it is pure rye or mixed with other grains or materials.
- Check whether the rye is presented as seed or in another form, using product specifications and commercial documents.
- Compare the HTSUS subheading notes and wording, not just a product name or online search result.
- Keep invoices, packing lists, technical descriptions, and seed or agricultural documentation that support the classification.
- Verify the current eight-digit subheading and any additional statistical digits in the official HTSUS; consult a customs broker for unusual forms, mixtures, or disputed classifications.
HTS heading 1002 summary
Rye is a 4-digit product category containing 2 published product-code lines in this snapshot. A heading does not carry one universal duty rate; classification must be narrowed to the line matching the product facts.
How to find your code in this category
A heading is a product category. To get the exact duty, narrow from this 4-digit heading to a sub-category (usually by material), then open the 8-digit code that matches your product.
Open any code in the tables below to see its exact duty rate, a duty calculator (enter your shipment value → estimated duty and landed cost), the rate-change history chart, and the country-by-country breakdown (including Section 301/232 add-on duties).
Why you have to click in: a single category can contain products with very different duties. The rate depends on the specific product — its material and construction — and on the country of origin, and those only get pinned down at the 8-digit code level. That is why this page points you to codes instead of showing one rate for the whole category.

Common questions
What products fall under HTS heading 1002?
Rye. To classify a specific item you must pick the matching sub-category and 8-digit code above; the right choice usually depends on the material and construction of the product.
How do I choose the right code within this category?
Start from the sub-categories (typically divided by material—for example cotton versus man-made fibers), then open the active 8- or 10-digit code that matches the product. When unsure, a licensed customs broker or a CBP binding ruling can confirm the classification.
