About cereal flours; other than of wheat or meslin

HS code 1102 covers a diverse range of cereal flours, excluding those made from wheat or meslin. These flours are essential ingredients in various food products, playing a crucial role in the global food industry. They are utilized in the production of breads, pastries, snacks, and a wide array of other consumables, making them a vital component of the broader agricultural and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of cereal flours under HS code 1102 typically involves a multi-step process. First, the raw cereal grains, such as corn, rice, or barley, are cleaned and conditioned to remove any impurities. The grains are then milled, often using specialized machinery, to extract the flour. The milling process can involve various techniques, including stone grinding, roller milling, or a combination of both, depending on the desired flour characteristics. The resulting flour is then sifted and packaged for distribution and further processing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cereal flours under HS code 1102 include the raw cereal grains, such as 1001 Wheat, 1002 Rye, 1003 Barley, 1005 (Maize (corn)), and 1006 Rice. Additionally, specialized milling equipment, such as roller mills, stone mills, and sifting machines, are essential for the production process. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary to power the milling operations.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 1102 are the various cereal flours, which can be used as ingredients in a wide range of food products. These flours may be consumed directly by households or used as inputs by other industries, such as 1905 Bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits and other bakers' wares, 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, and 2106 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included.
