HS Code 1001.99 – Cereals; wheat and meslin, other than durum wheat, other than seed
HS code 1001.99 is the 6-digit subheading for cereals, wheat and meslin, other than durum wheat, other than seed. It is used for common wheat grain, bread wheat, soft wheat, hard red winter wheat and spring wheat.
What HS 1001.99 covers
This HS code encompasses common wheat and meslin (a mixture of wheat and rye) not intended for sowing, making it one of the most significant agricultural commodities traded globally. Common wheat is the primary ingredient for bread, pastries, noodles, and a vast array of processed foods, forming a cornerstone of diets worldwide. International trade in this category is massive, driven by global food demand and the need for diverse wheat types for various culinary applications. Major importers include countries with large populations and significant food processing industries, such as Egypt, Indonesia, China, and Brazil. Exporters are typically major agricultural powerhouses like Russia, the United States, Canada, and France, which produce surplus wheat. Key considerations in this trade include grain quality, protein content, moisture levels, and adherence to international food safety standards. Global prices are highly sensitive to harvest conditions, geopolitical events, and supply chain logistics.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. 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).
