About cereal 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

HS code 1104 covers a range of processed cereal grains, excluding rice. These products are essential ingredients in various food and feed applications, playing a crucial role in the global food and agricultural industry. The processing techniques applied to these grains, such as hulling, rolling, flaking, and grinding, enhance their versatility and expand their uses across numerous sectors, from breakfast cereals to animal feed.

Production process

The main production techniques for HS code 1104 products involve mechanical processing of cereal grains. This typically includes hulling to remove the outer husk, followed by rolling, flaking, or pearling to create different textures and forms. The grains may also be sliced or kibbled (coarsely ground) to produce specific product characteristics. Additionally, the germ of the cereal grains can be processed, including being rolled, flaked, or ground, to create various germ-based products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 1104 products are raw cereal grains, such as wheat, barley, oats, and corn. These grains are sourced from agricultural producers and may undergo cleaning, sorting, and other pre-processing steps before being subjected to the specific mechanical treatments. Additionally, the production process requires various types of machinery, including hullers, rollers, flakers, and grinders, as well as energy sources and labor.

Production outputs

The main outputs of HS code 1104 include a wide range of processed cereal products, such as rolled oats, bulgur wheat, pearl barley, and cornmeal. These products are widely used in the food industry, particularly in the manufacture of breakfast cereals, baked goods, and snack foods. Additionally, the processed cereal grains and germ products are also utilized in the animal feed industry, as they provide valuable nutrients and energy sources for livestock and poultry. Other related HS codes that may consume the outputs of 1104 include 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, 2302 Bran, sharps and other residues, whether or not in the form of pellets, derived from the sifting, milling or other working of cereals or of leguminous plants, and 2309 Preparations of a kind used in animal feeding.
