Rolled Oat Groats from China
Rolled oat groats are produced by steaming and flattening oat grains, resulting in a product where at least 95% by weight passes through a 1.25 mm sieve. This meets the definition of meal under heading 11.03, despite the rolling process. The product retains high starch content and low ash content, consistent with Chapter 11 notes for oats.

Import Tips
• Confirm with CBSA whether the rolling process changes classification to heading 11.04, as rolled grains may be classified differently
• Provide sieve analysis to demonstrate 95% passage through 1.25 mm
• Ensure the product is not pre-cooked or flavored, which would fall under heading 19.04
