HS code chapter 11 products of the milling industry: what it covers
Chapter 11 is about crops after they have been processed. Think of flour, meal, flakes, malt and starch.
Not every product here comes from cereals. Some come from potatoes, dried legumes, sago, roots or tubers, and some from fruit and nuts. What links them is the mill: grinding, rolling, flaking, malting or taking out starch.
Customs offices sort goods with the Harmonized System, a tariff classification kept by the World Customs Organization. Each product gets a four-digit heading and a Harmonized System 6-digit code. You may also see this chapter called HSN code 11.
How do I find the correct HS code for my product under chapter 11?
Start with what the product is and how it was made. Then match it to the wording of the heading. These rules of thumb cover most cases.
- Flour from any other cereal goes to 1102.
- Groats, meal and pellets: coarser milled cereal goes to 1103.
- Worked grains: hulled, rolled, flaked, pearled, sliced or kibbled grains go to 1104. Rice of heading 1006 is left out. Cereal germ is placed here too.
- Potato products: flour, flakes, granules and pellets of potatoes go to 1105.
- Other flours: flour of dried legumes, sago, roots, tubers or chapter 8 products goes to 1106.
- Malt, starch and gluten each have their own heading, shown next.
Starch, malt and wheat gluten codes at a glance
These products are often searched by name, so here are the codes that match them.
Starch sits under heading 1108, split by its source. Wheat starch is 110811 and maize (corn) starch is 110812. Inulin has its own code, 110820.
Malt sits under heading 1107, whether roasted or not. Use 110710 when it is not roasted and 110720 when it is roasted.
Wheat gluten, dried or not, sits under heading 1109 and has a single code: 110900.
Difference between chapter 10 cereals and chapter 11 milling products
Chapter 10 covers cereals as grain. Chapter 11 covers what happens when that grain is milled, worked or turned into flour, meal, malt or starch.
Chapter 11 also reaches into other chapters. Heading 1106 points to dried legumes of heading 0713 and to roots or tubers of heading 0714. Chapter 07 covers the vegetables, roots and tubers themselves. Chapter 08 covers fruit and nuts. Chapter 12 covers oil seeds and miscellaneous grains and seeds.
A simple test helps. If the goods are still raw, check the chapter for that crop. If they were milled or processed into flour, meal, flakes, malt or starch, look here first.
