Quick Flake Oats from Germany
Quick flake oats are lightly rolled thinner than standard oats for faster cooking, while remaining minimally processed. They are classified under tariff item 1104.12.00 as flaked grains of oats, avoiding heading 19.04 because they lack preparation like toasting or sweetening. The product meets the starch and ash content criteria for oats in Chapter 11.

Import Tips
• Ensure the thin flakes still retain a particle size above 1.25 mm to avoid classification as meal
• Do not add any flavorings or sweeteners, as that would shift the product to Chapter 19
• Keep the product dry and store at appropriate humidity to prevent spoilage during customs clearance
