More Specific Codes
This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the import exceeds the quota or lacks a permit
The over access commitment rate applies to wheat groats blends beyond the quota, with a higher duty.
If the bran content is too high, causing ash content to exceed limits
Products with high bran content that fail Chapter 11 ash tests are classified as bran in heading 23.02.
If the wheat is processed as whole grains rather than fragmented groats
Worked wheat grains, such as pearled or kibbled, fall under heading 11.04, not the groats of 11.03.
