HS Code 1104Cereal grains otherwise worked (e.g. hulled, rolled, flaked, pearled, sliced or kibbled) except rice of heading no. 1006; germ of cereals whole, rolled, flaked or ground

What HS code 1104 covers

Heading 1104 is a Harmonized System heading, so customs offices around the world share the same four-digit starting point. You may also see it called HSN code 1104 or HTS code 1104. These are naming variants of one heading. Each country adds its own extra digits later.

In plain English, the heading is for cereal grains that were changed in some way. Hulled grain has had its outer husk removed. Rolled or flaked grain has been pressed flat. Pearled, sliced or kibbled grain has been polished, cut or cracked into pieces. The heading also takes cereal germ, the small living part of the seed, whether whole, rolled, flaked or ground.

Rice of heading 1006 is left out, even when it is hulled or polished.

HS 1104 subheadings: 110412 to 110430

The table above gives the official wording. Here is the same list in short, everyday labels.

• 110412: rolled oats and flaked oats.
• 110419: rolled or flaked grain from any cereal except oats.
• 110422: oats that are hulled, pearled, sliced or kibbled, but not flattened.
• 110423: worked maize (corn) that is not flattened.
• 110429: other worked cereals, which means not oats, not maize and not rice.
• 110430: cereal germ.

How to choose the right 1104 subheading

Start with the shape of the grain. If it has been pressed flat into flakes, look at 110412 or 110419. If it was hulled, pearled, sliced or kibbled but not pressed flat, look at 110422, 110423 or 110429.

Next, ask which cereal it is. For flattened goods, oats take 110412 and every other cereal takes 110419. For goods that are worked but not flattened, oats take 110422, maize takes 110423 and all other cereals take 110429.

Last, check whether you are shipping the germ and not the grain. Germ is its own branch, and it does not depend on which cereal it came from.

Duty on these goods depends on the national tariff of the importing country. Use the HS code classifier to test your product description before you file.

1104 vs related headings

Chapter 11 has several headings that sound alike, and mixing them up is a common mistake.

Heading 1102 is flour from other cereals. Flour is ground fine, while goods under 1104 still look like grain, only hulled, flattened, polished or cut.

These are made by grinding the grain coarsely or pressing it into pellets. A simple test helps: if you can still see a flake, a pearl or a hulled kernel, think 1104. If the grain was ground to meal or pressed to pellets, think 1103.
