Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 1901 when importing malt extract or food preparations made from flour, starch, or milk products, such as infant cereals or baking mixes. For example, if you're bringing in a packaged infant formula made from malt extract and milk powder, this heading applies.

Choosing between the HS-6 lines under 1901 can be tricky. If your product is specifically designed for infants or young children, opt for HS-6 190110. However, if your goods are baking mixes or doughs, such as those for cakes or bread, HS-6 190120 is the right choice.

For products that don't fit neatly into the other categories, like a general flour-based food preparation not targeted at infants or for baking, use HS-6 190190. This line covers a broader range of food preparations that are not specified elsewhere in this heading.
