Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 110423 when importing or exporting worked maize products, such as flaked corn or cornmeal. For example, if you are shipping a pallet of corn flakes to a grocery store, this is the correct code.
This code specifically covers cereal grains processed in ways like hulling, slicing, or kibbled, distinguishing it from HS-6 110421, which pertains to whole maize grains. If your product is not processed but simply whole corn kernels, you would use that code instead.
When dealing with processed maize, it’s essential to note that this HS-6 line does not include rice or other grains, which are classified under different headings. Ensure your product fits the description of worked maize to avoid misclassification.
For example, products like cornmeal, corn flour, or even breakfast cereals made primarily from maize fall under this category. If you're unsure about your product's classification, consider whether it has undergone significant processing.
