About malt extract; flour/groats/meal/starch/malt extract products, no cocoa (or less than 40% by weight) and food preparations of goods of headings 04.01 to 04.04, no cocoa (or less than 5% by weight), weights calculated on a totally defatted basis, n.e.c.

HS code 1901 covers a diverse range of food products, including malt extract, flour-based preparations, and dairy-based food preparations. These items play a crucial role in the global food and beverage industry, serving as key ingredients in a wide variety of consumer products. The products under this code are widely traded internationally, contributing to the overall growth and development of the global food supply chain.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 1901 typically involves a range of processing techniques, such as milling, mixing, and blending. Malt extract, for example, is produced by extracting the soluble components from malted grains, often barley, through a process of steeping, germination, and drying. Flour-based preparations may involve the milling of grains, such as wheat or corn, followed by the addition of other ingredients like starches, sugars, or dairy products. Food preparations of goods from headings 04.01 to 04.04 (dairy products) often require the blending and processing of various dairy components, such as milk, cream, or whey.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 1901 include various grains (e.g., wheat, barley, corn), dairy products (e.g., milk, cream, whey), starches, and other food-grade additives and ingredients. Specialized machinery, such as mills, mixers, and drying equipment, is also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, water, and skilled labor are important inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The products covered under HS code 1901 are widely used as ingredients in a variety of food and beverage products. Malt extract, for example, is commonly used in the production of 2203 Beer made from malt and other fermented beverages. Flour-based preparations and dairy-based food preparations are often used as ingredients in 1905 Bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits and other bakers' wares, whether or not containing cocoa, 2106 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included, and 0401 Milk and cream, not concentrated nor containing added sugar or other sweetening matter.
