Products classified under Tariff item 1008.10.00
Bulk Buckwheat for Animal Feed
Bulk buckwheat grains intended for animal feed, presented in raw, unmilled form. The grains are present and unworked, meeting the requirements of Chapter 10 for classification as buckwheat, regardless of end use.
Cleaned Buckwheat for Export
Buckwheat seeds that have been cleaned to remove impurities, but remain in whole grain form. Cleaning does not constitute 'working' under Chapter 10, so the product stays classified as buckwheat in heading 10.08.
Common Buckwheat Varietal Grain

Gluten-Free Buckwheat Grain
Buckwheat grains certified gluten-free, presented in raw seed form. The gluten-free status does not affect classification; the product remains buckwheat under heading 10.08 as long as the grains are present and unworked.
Hulled Buckwheat Kernels
Buckwheat kernels with the outer hull removed. Although hulling is a form of working, the product is still buckwheat in seed form and is not excluded by Chapter Note 1(B), which only excludes grains that are hulled or otherwise worked, except rice. However, since the note excludes hulled grains generally, this product may not qualify under Chapter 10 unless it is considered minimally processed.

Raw Buckwheat Grain for Milling
Raw buckwheat grains harvested and cleaned for industrial milling into flour. The product is unmilled and unworked, with grains present, so it falls under tariff item 1008.10.00 as buckwheat.
