The products under 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 techniques 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, the production of these goods requires specialized milling equipment, energy sources, and water. Depending on the specific product, other inputs may include enzymes, chemicals, and packaging materials.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industries under HS code 11 include a wide range of products, such as flours, meals, starches, maltodextrins, and wheat gluten. These outputs are then consumed by various other industries, including 19 Preparations of cereals, flour, starch or milk; pastrycooks' products, 21 Miscellaneous edible preparations, and 30 Pharmaceutical products. The versatility of these products makes them essential for the production of a diverse array of consumer and industrial goods.
