HTS heading 1007 is a broad product category for grain sorghum. It generally groups sorghum grain based on the product’s identity and condition, rather than covering every item made from sorghum. The heading may include different tariff-line treatments for types or forms of grain sorghum, so the 4-digit heading is only the starting point.
To select the specific 8-digit HTSUS code, review the subheadings and statistical breakouts under heading 1007. Confirm the commodity’s botanical or commercial identity, whether it is grain sorghum, and any distinctions based on type, processing, or other wording in the current tariff schedule. Classification should follow the HTSUS legal notes, section and chapter notes, and the product facts—not simply the product name used in a listing. A customs broker or binding-ruling request may be appropriate when the facts or wording are uncertain.
What to check
- Confirm that the merchandise is grain sorghum itself, not flour, meal, feed preparation, seed, or another processed sorghum product that may be classified elsewhere.
- Review every subheading and 8-digit statistical breakout under heading 1007, including any distinctions based on type, condition, or use.
- Document the product’s scientific or commercial name, physical form, processing, packaging, and intended use; compare those facts with the tariff wording.
- Check the current HTSUS edition and any applicable chapter or section notes before filing, because statistical provisions and treatment can change.
- Ask a qualified customs broker or seek a CBP binding ruling if the product could fit more than one provision or its condition is unclear.

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 1007?
Grain sorghum. 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?
