Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 100829 when importing or exporting millet products that are not meant for planting, such as millet flour or processed food items. For example, if you're shipping millet flour for baking, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers millet that is not classified as seed, distinguishing it from HS-6 100821, which pertains to millet seeds intended for planting. Make sure to classify your products accurately to avoid customs issues.
Millet products under this code can include processed forms like flour, flakes, or even ready-to-eat snacks. If you're dealing with millet used in food production, this is the appropriate classification.
