Canadian Western Red Spring Durum Wheat from China
This is a high-quality durum wheat variety grown primarily in Canada, characterized by its red bran color and spring planting cycle. It falls under HTS 1001.19.00 as 'other' durum wheat, excluding seeds, due to its use in milling for pasta production. The hard, glassy kernels make it ideal for semolina extraction.

Import Tips
• Obtain a phytosanitary certificate from the exporting country to confirm the wheat is free from pests and diseases like Karnal bunt
• Declare exact moisture content (typically 14-15%) and test weight on import documents to avoid reclassification or penalties
• Ensure compliance with USDA grain inspection standards; common pitfalls include undeclared admixtures exceeding 1%
