HS-4 1104: Cereal grains otherwise worked (e.g. hulled, rolled, flaked, pearled, sliced or kibbled) except rice of heading no. 1006; germ of cereals whole, rolled, flaked or ground

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 1104 when importing processed cereal grains like rolled oats or kibbled maize. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of rolled oats for breakfast cereals, this heading applies. It covers grains that have been hulled, rolled, flaked, or otherwise worked, excluding rice.

When deciding between subheadings, consider the type of grain and its processing method. For instance, HS-6 110412 is specific to rolled or flaked oats, while HS-6 110419 includes all other rolled or flaked grains, such as barley or wheat. If your product is a flaked grain that isn't oats, use 110419.

If your shipment consists of kibbled maize, you would classify it under HS-6 110423. However, if you have hulled or sliced grains that are neither oats nor maize, then HS-6 110429 would be appropriate. This line captures a variety of processed grains, ensuring accurate classification.

For shipments containing cereal germ, such as whole or ground cereal germ, use HS-6 110430. This subheading is distinct from the others, focusing specifically on the germ component, which is often used in health foods and supplements.
