Analysis
HTS 1004.90.00 covers oats: other under heading 1004 (oats). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 2 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
For statistics it divides in two: 1004.90.00.10 for certified organic and 1004.90.00.90 for other. Both pay the same duty; the suffix records which kind was imported.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 50% of the 12 tariff lines in chapter 10. 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 1004.10.00 (oats: seed, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 111199 (All Other Grain Farming). That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
