Milled Wheat Germ Flakes from Mexico
Milled wheat germ flakes are produced by lightly milling and flaking whole wheat germ, a process that preserves the germ's natural nutrients while creating a convenient flake form. This product falls under tariff item 1104.30.12 as it is a flaked form of wheat germ, which is explicitly classified in heading 11.04 regardless of milling processes. The flaking process does not alter the germ's classification as a cereal germ product.

• Verify the over access commitment status with CBSA, as this may affect duty rates
• Keep documentation of the milling and flaking process to support the tariff classification
