Proso Millet Grain from Germany
Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum), also called broomcorn millet, is a fast-growing cereal used for birdseed and human food. It is classified under tariff item 1008.90.00 as 'other cereals' because, despite its common name, it is not a millet of heading 10.07 (which covers only certain genera) and is imported in whole-grain form.

Import Tips
• Clarify the intended use (birdseed vs. human food) on customs documents, as this may affect CFIA requirements but not the tariff classification
• Verify the botanical name (Panicum miliaceum) to avoid misclassification under heading 10.07
• If the millet is hulled or processed for human consumption, it may fall under Chapter 11 instead of 10.08
