HS v2022 Code: 110423

About cereal grains; worked (e.g. hulled, pearled, sliced or kibbled) of maize (corn)

HS code 110423 covers cereal grains of maize (corn) that have been processed through various techniques such as hulling, pearling, slicing, or kibbling. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, providing a versatile and nutritious ingredient for a wide range of food products. The processed maize grains produced under this code are essential inputs for industries ranging from breakfast cereals to animal feed, making it an important component of both the human and animal food sectors.

Production process

The production of worked maize grains under HS code 110423 typically involves a series of mechanical processing steps. The raw maize kernels are first cleaned and sorted to remove any impurities or damaged grains. They are then subjected to various techniques, such as hulling to remove the outer hull, pearling to polish the grains, or slicing and kibbling to create different textures and sizes. These processing methods help to improve the grains' digestibility, shelf life, and suitability for further processing or direct consumption.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of worked maize grains under HS code 110423 include the raw maize kernels, which are the primary agricultural commodity. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the various processing steps, such as hullers, pearlers, slicers, and kibbling machines. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary to power the production facilities and equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 110423 is the processed maize grains, which can be used as ingredients in a wide range of food products. These include breakfast cereals, snack foods, baked goods, and animal feed. The processed maize grains may also be further processed into other maize-based products, such as 110412 (Cereal grains; maize (corn), hulled, pearled, sliced or kibbled), 110419 Cereal grains; worked, n.e.c. in item no. 1104, or 230310 Residues of starch manufacture and similar residues, depending on the specific requirements of the end-use industries.
