Japanese Barnyard Millet from Germany
Japanese barnyard millet (Echinochloa esculenta) is a traditional cereal used in rice substitutes and porridges. It is classified under tariff item 1008.90.00 as 'other cereals' because it is not a true millet of heading 10.07 (which covers only millet of the Panicum, Setaria, and related genera) and is imported in whole-grain form.

Import Tips
• Verify the botanical name (Echinochloa esculenta) on the commercial invoice to distinguish it from true millets of heading 10.07
• Ensure the grain is unprocessed; hulled or milled barnyard millet may be classified elsewhere
• Consult the CFIA for grain import requirements, as some cereal grains are subject to plant health import controls
