Flaked Oat Groats from Germany
Flaked oat groats are whole oat kernels that have been hulled, steamed, and pressed into flakes, suitable for baking or muesli. They are classified under tariff item 1104.12.00 as flaked grains of oats, provided they meet the starch and ash content criteria for oats. The flaking process does not reduce the grain to flour or meal, keeping them in this heading.

Import Tips
• Verify the product's starch content exceeds 45% and ash content is below 5% on a dry basis; keep milling records for CBSA audits
• Ensure the flakes are not ground to pass a 1.25 mm sieve, which would reclassify them as meal under 1103
• If the groats are organic, have the certification ready but note it does not affect tariff classification
