Jumbo Rolled Oats
Jumbo rolled oats are made from larger oat groats, producing thicker flakes that are ideal for hearty granola bars. They are classified under tariff item 1104.12.00 as rolled grains of oats, as their coarse flake size prevents classification as flour or fine meal. The product meets the starch and ash content requirements for oats in Chapter 11.
