HS v2022 Code: 110430

About cereal; germ of cereals, whole, rolled, flaked or ground

HS code 110430 covers the classification of cereal germ, which is the embryo or reproductive part of a cereal grain. Cereal germ is an important byproduct of cereal processing, as it is rich in nutrients and is often used in a variety of food and feed applications. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, contributing to the supply of essential nutrients and ingredients for a wide range of consumer and industrial products.

Production process

The production of cereal germ typically involves the separation of the germ from the rest of the cereal grain during milling or other processing operations. This is often achieved through mechanical means, such as roller mills or other specialized equipment, which can extract the germ while leaving the endosperm and bran intact. The extracted germ may then undergo further processing, such as drying, stabilization, or oil extraction, depending on the intended end-use application.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of cereal germ include the raw cereal grains, such as wheat, corn, rice, or other cereals. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as mills, separators, and drying systems, are necessary for the extraction and processing of the germ. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also required to power the production equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 110430 is the cereal germ itself, which can be sold as a standalone product or incorporated into a wide range of food and feed products. The cereal germ may be used as an ingredient in baked goods, breakfast cereals, nutritional supplements, animal feeds, and other applications that require its nutritional properties. Other related HS codes that may consume the output of 110430 include 110100 Cereal flours, 110313 Cereal groats, meal and pellets, and 230630 Oilcake and other solid residues, of vegetable fats or oils, among others.
