1107 — Malt; whether or not roasted
Chapter 11: Products of milling industry
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 1107 when importing malt, whether roasted or unroasted. For example, if you're bringing in a shipment of unroasted malt for brewing, this is the correct classification.
To choose between the HS-6 lines under this heading, consider the product's preparation. HS-6 110710 applies to malt that has not been roasted, commonly used in beer production. In contrast, HS-6 110720 is for roasted malt, which imparts a darker color and richer flavor to beverages.
If you're unsure whether your malt is roasted or not, check the product specifications. Unroasted malt typically has a lighter color and is used for lighter beers, while roasted malt has a deep brown hue and is often used in stouts and porters.
