Wheat Germ from Mexico
Wheat germ is the nutrient-rich embryo separated from wheat kernels, typically ground into flakes or powder. Chapter note 2(A) states that germ of cereals, whole, rolled, flaked or ground, is always classified in heading 11.04. Since wheat is not barley, the product falls under this tariff item for 'other cereals'.
