Barley Pellets from United States
Barley pellets are compressed fragments of barley grain, formed from groats or meal that meet the starch and ash content thresholds in Chapter 11. They are used in brewing adjuncts, animal nutrition, and food manufacturing. Because they are pellets of barley, they fall under tariff item 1103.20.90 as 'Other' pellets, not under the wheat or barley quota items.

Import Tips
• Ensure the pellets meet Chapter 11 starch (>45%) and ash (<3%) limits; otherwise they may be classified under heading 23.02
• Declare the correct 8-digit code 1103.20.90, as barley pellets are not covered by the wheat or barley quota items
• Keep records of the milling process and sieve tests to support classification if CBSA requests verification
