Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 110311 when importing or exporting cereal groats and meal made from wheat. This includes products like flour and semolina that are derived from milling wheat. For example, if you're shipping a bulk container of semolina for pasta production, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers cereal groats and meal from wheat, distinguishing it from other grains like corn or rice, which have their own classifications. If you have a product that includes wheat flour mixed with other ingredients, it may not fit under this HS-6.
When comparing HS-6 110311 to HS-6 110312, which covers cereal meal from other grains, it’s essential to note that the latter includes products like cornmeal. Ensure you accurately identify the grain source to avoid misclassification.
Products classified under this code are often used in food production, animal feed, or as ingredients in various recipes. Understanding the specific nature of your product will help in determining the right HS code.
