Industry PositionProcessed Grain Ingredient (Brewing/Food)
Market
Barley malt in Japan is primarily a B2B brewing and food ingredient market with a large import footprint and a smaller domestic malting-barley supply base. UN Comtrade-derived data show Japan imported about USD 371.7 million of non-roasted malt (HS 110710) in 2023, with major suppliers including Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and Germany. Domestic malting barley breeding and contract cultivation exist, including varieties such as “New Sachiho Golden,” reported as cultivated in Tochigi (a leading producer of malting barley in Japan) and also in Shiga and Kyoto. Market access and continuity depend on tariff/quota administration and on import notification and compliance checks under Japan’s Food Sanitation Act at MHLW quarantine stations.
Market RoleNet importer with limited domestic malting-barley production and negligible malt exports
Domestic RoleKey input for Japan’s brewing sector and malt-using food manufacturing; domestic contract malting-barley production supplements imports
Specification
Secondary Variety
- New Sachiho Golden
- Sachiho Golden
- Sukai Golden
- Haruna Nijo
- Amagi Nijo
Supply Chain
Value Chain
- Overseas maltster → ocean freight to Japan → Customs clearance + MHLW Quarantine Station import notification/document examination (Food Sanitation Act) → domestic warehousing/distribution → industrial end-users (brewers/food manufacturers)

Risks
Trade Policy HighJapan’s malt tariff administration includes quota-referenced classifications ("Pooled Quota") and JPY/kg duties; quota availability, misclassification, or incorrect regime assumptions can materially increase duty costs and disrupt planned import programs.Confirm the exact statistical code and quota/regime applicability with a customs broker and current tariff references; align contracts and landed-cost models to the specific Japan tariff line treatment.
Regulatory Compliance HighFailure to submit the Food Sanitation Act import notification and to pass MHLW quarantine station document examination/inspection prevents the imported malt from being used for sale or business purposes in Japan.Prepare the import notification dossier in advance (including product/spec and manufacturing information) and use MHLW quarantine station pre-consultation where needed.
Plant Quarantine MediumPlant quarantine requirements can apply to grains/cereal products; whether malt is treated as an inspection-required plant product or as an exempt processed product depends on its condition and risk profile under MAFF plant quarantine guidance.Confirm inspection requirements for the exact malt form (e.g., whole malt vs flour; processing level) using MAFF Plant Protection Station guidance and, if needed, the importing-conditions database or direct inquiry.
Logistics MediumBecause Japan sources large volumes of malt via ocean freight, global shipping disruptions and freight-rate spikes can raise landed cost and cause delivery delays that disrupt brewery production schedules.Use forward freight planning, buffer inventory at destination, and diversified origin sourcing to reduce single-lane exposure.
Supply Concentration MediumJapan’s malt import supply is concentrated in a limited set of origin countries (notably Canada, the UK, France, Australia, Germany), increasing exposure to origin-specific crop quality issues or export logistics constraints.Maintain approved multi-origin supplier lists and validate substitutability of malt specifications across origins (base vs specialty malt requirements).
Sustainability
- Supply exposure to climate variability in key supplier origins (e.g., Canada, Europe, Australia) given Japan’s import dependence for malt.
FAQ
Which HS codes are typically used for barley malt trade into Japan?Internationally, malt is classified under HS heading 1107 ("Malt, whether or not roasted"). Trade statistics commonly distinguish HS 110710 (malt, not roasted) and HS 110720 (roasted malt), and Japan’s detailed tariff treatment depends on the specific statistical code under this heading.
What are the key Japan authorities involved in clearing imported barley malt for business use?For food-use malt, importers must submit an import notification under the Food Sanitation Act to an MHLW quarantine station, which conducts document examination and may require inspection before issuing a Certificate of Notification. Customs clearance is handled through Japan Customs, and plant quarantine requirements may apply depending on how the malt is classified under MAFF Plant Protection Station guidance.
Where does Japan source most of its imported non-roasted malt from?UN Comtrade-derived 2023 data indicate Japan imported the largest values of non-roasted malt (HS 110710) from Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Australia, and Germany.
