190120
Food preparations; mixes and doughs for the preparation of bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits and other bakers' wares
Heading 1901 — Malt extract; flour/groats/meal/starch/malt extract products, no cocoa (or less than 40% by weight) and food preparations of goods of headings 04.01 to 04.04, no cocoa (or less than 5% by weight), weights calculated on a totally defatted basis, n.e.c.

Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 190120 when importing or exporting food preparations such as mixes and doughs specifically designed for making bread, pastries, cakes, and biscuits. For example, a shipment of pre-mixed dough for croissants falls under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 190190, which covers other food preparations not specifically for baking. If you're dealing with a product like a cake mix that contains cocoa, you would need to look at different classifications.
The HS-6 190120 line focuses on mixes and doughs that do not contain cocoa or contain it in very limited amounts (less than 5% by weight). This includes ready-to-use doughs and dry mixes that bakers can easily prepare.
When classifying your product, consider the specific ingredients and intended use. If your product is a dry mix for cookies or a ready-to-bake pastry dough, it likely fits here.
