Instant Corn Grits from China
Instant corn grits are pre-cooked and dried corn meal that still meets the 95% passage through a 2 mm sieve, qualifying under tariff item 1103.13.00 as cereal groats and meal. The pre-cooking does not change the base classification, as the product remains a milled corn product.
