HS v2017 Code: 11

About products of the milling industry; malt, starches, inulin, wheat gluten

HS code 11 encompasses a diverse range of products derived from the milling industry, including grains, starches, and gluten. This industry plays a vital role in the global food supply chain, providing essential ingredients for a wide array of food and industrial products. The products within this code are fundamental to many sectors, from baking and confectionery to pharmaceuticals and textiles, making it a crucial component of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 11 typically involves a series of milling and processing techniques. Grains, such as wheat, corn, and rice, are first cleaned, sorted, and then milled to extract the desired components, such as flour, starch, and gluten. The milling process may involve various methods, including grinding, sifting, and separation, to achieve the desired particle size and purity. Starches and inulin are often further processed through processes like hydrolysis, fermentation, or chemical modification to produce specialized products for specific applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the industries covered by HS code 11 include a variety of grains, such as 1001 Wheat and meslin, 1005 (Maize (corn)), and 1006 Rice. Additionally, these industries rely on specialized machinery and equipment for milling, processing, and packaging the final products. Energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are also essential for the various stages of production.

Production outputs

The industries under HS code 11 produce a wide range of outputs, including flours, meals, starches, maltodextrins, and wheat gluten. These products are then consumed by various other industries, such as 1901 Malt extract; food preparations of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract, not containing cocoa or containing less than 40% by weight of cocoa calculated on a totally defatted basis, not elsewhere specified or included; food preparations of goods of headings 0401 to 0404, not containing cocoa or containing less than 5% by weight of cocoa calculated on a totally defatted basis, not elsewhere specified or included, 2106 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, and 3505 (Dextrins and other modified starches (for example, pregelatinized or esterified starches); glues based on starches, or on dextrins or other modified starches).
