Hulled Quinoa from China
Hulled quinoa consists of quinoa seeds that have been processed to remove the saponin coating, leaving the edible seed. Quinoa is not a cereal listed in the chapter notes for headings 11.01 to 11.03, so it is classified as an 'other cereal' under this tariff item as a worked grain.

Import Tips
• Verify that the quinoa is only hulled and not further processed into flour or meal
• Provide documentation showing the saponin removal process
• Check if the quinoa is for human consumption, as it may require CFIA labeling compliance
