HS Code 1001.19 – Cereals; wheat and meslin, durum wheat, other than seed
HS code 1001.19 is the 6-digit subheading for cereals, wheat and meslin, durum wheat, other than seed. It is used for durum wheat grain, semolina wheat, pasta-grade durum, couscous-grade durum and high-protein wheat.
What HS 1001.19 covers
This HS code covers durum wheat that is not intended for sowing, primarily traded as a foodstuff. Durum wheat is highly valued for its hard texture and high protein content, making it the preferred grain for producing pasta, couscous, and certain types of bread. International trade in non-seed durum wheat is substantial, driven by global demand for pasta and other semolina-based products. Major importers include countries with large pasta manufacturing industries or those where durum wheat is a staple food, such as Italy, Algeria, Tunisia, and the United States. Key exporters are typically large agricultural producers with suitable climates for durum cultivation, including Canada, the United States, and France. The trade involves significant volumes, with considerations for grain quality, moisture content, protein levels, and adherence to food safety regulations. Global prices are influenced by harvest yields, geopolitical factors, and consumer demand for pasta worldwide.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
