What HS code 1101 covers
If the flour comes from either one, customs puts it here. This is why people who search for the wheat flour HS code end up at this heading.
The words of each heading act as the customs description. Many countries use the same text, so a shipper in one country and a buyer in another can talk about the same product.
HS code 110100 and national tariff lines
The international system stops at six digits. For this flour, that code is 110100. There are no finer splits below it in the world list.
Many countries add more digits for their own tariff classification. In India the longer codes are called HSN codes. In the United States they are called HTS codes. The extra digits change from country to country, but they start with 110100. If you see a longer number for wheat flour, check that it begins this way.
Duty and tax rules sit on the national line, not on the world code. Ask your customs broker or read the local tariff schedule. If you are not sure your product is wheat flour at all, try the HS code classifier.
How HS 1101 differs from other Chapter 11 headings
Most mistakes come from picking a heading that sounds close. The key test is the grain. Flour from any other cereal does not. A product that is not flour, such as the protein part of wheat, goes elsewhere.
- HS 1102 is for flours of other cereals, such as flour from another grain.
- These are coarser than flour.
- HS 1104 is for grains that have been worked, for example hulled, rolled, flaked or pearled.
- HS 1109 is for gluten. In the wheat flour vs wheat gluten question, flour stays in 1101 and gluten moves to 1109.
Other headings in Chapter 11
If wheat flour is not what you ship, a neighbouring heading may fit better. Potato flour and flakes sit in 1105. Flours of dried legumes, sago, roots and tubers sit in 1106. Every other chapter is listed on the main HS codes page.

HS Code 1101: common questions
What is the HS code for wheat flour?
Nothing else in the Harmonized System is used for plain wheat flour.
What is meslin flour and which HS code covers it?
Flour milled from it shares heading 1101 with wheat flour.
Is HS code 1101 the same as 110100 or the longer national codes?
Heading 1101 has only one world code, 110100, so the two point to the same goods. National tariffs add digits after 110100, which is why you may see longer HSN or HTS versions.
What is the difference between HS 1101 and 1102?
The grain decides it. Wheat or meslin flour goes in 1101, and flour from every other cereal goes in 1102.
Which HS code covers wheat gluten instead of wheat flour?
Gluten has its own heading, 1109. It is a separate product from the flour in 1101.
How can I find importers and exporters of wheat flour?
