Analysis
HTS 1002.10.00 covers rye: seed under heading 1002 (rye). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
For statistics it divides in two: 1002.10.00.10 for seeds of a kind used for sowing and 1002.10.00.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
The normal trade relations rate here is zero, shared by about 50% of the 12 tariff lines in chapter 10, a useful check when a neighbouring dutiable line is a candidate. Duty-free at the general rate does not rule out additional duties under Chapter 99, such as Section 301 or Section 232 measures, which depend on the country of origin.
The other line in the same group is 1002.90.00 (rye: other, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111199 (All Other Grain Farming). That concordance is how imports of this line are compared with US output.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
