Buckwheat Groat Puffs from China
Buckwheat groat puffs are made by roasting and swelling buckwheat groats until they expand into light, crispy puffs. They are prepared beyond the basic grain form and are not excluded by the chapter note on groats, as they are puffed rather than in groat form. This product falls under tariff item 1904.90.50 because it is a prepared cereal obtained by swelling, packaged in retail-sized containers.
