About prepared foods obtained by swelling or roasting cereals or cereal products (e.g. corn flakes); cereals (other than maize (corn)) in grain form or in the form of flakes or other worked grains (not flour and meal), pre-cooked or otherwise prepared, n.e.c.
HS code 1904 covers a diverse range of prepared food products made from cereals or cereal-based ingredients. These products, which include items like corn flakes, breakfast cereals, and pre-cooked grains, play a significant role in the global food industry. They provide convenient and nutritious options for consumers, while also serving as important inputs for various other food manufacturing processes.
Production process
The production of HS 1904 items typically involves a combination of techniques such as swelling, roasting, and other forms of processing. Cereals and cereal-based ingredients are often subjected to high heat and pressure to create the desired texture and flavor profiles. Additionally, various additives and flavorings may be incorporated to enhance the final product.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of HS 1904 goods include raw cereal grains (such as wheat, rice, or oats), as well as specialized machinery and equipment for processing, cooking, and packaging the final products. Depending on the specific item, additional ingredients like sugar, salt, and various vitamins and minerals may also be used.
Production outputs
The outputs of the HS 1904 industry encompass a wide range of ready-to-eat or pre-cooked cereal-based products, including breakfast cereals, snack foods, and ingredients for further food processing. These outputs may be consumed directly by end-users or serve as inputs for the production of other food items, such as 1905 Bread, pastry, cakes, biscuits and other bakers' wares, whether or not containing cocoa or 2106 Food preparations not elsewhere specified or included.
