Organic Hulled Oats from Mexico
Organic hulled oats are oat grains with the outer hull removed but with the bran and germ left intact. Although hulling is a form of working, the chapter notes permit hulled rice only in heading 10.06; for oats, hulling without further processing keeps them in heading 10.04. These oats are used in food processing for oatmeal, granola, and muesli.

Import Tips
• Confirm the oats are not pearled, polished, or otherwise worked beyond hull removal
• Have your organic certification ready for CBSA inspection if claiming duty preferences under a trade agreement
• If the oats are for human consumption, verify they meet the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's grain standards
