Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If hulled barley groats without pelleting
Non-pelleted barley groats/meal fall under 1103.31, while compressed form is pellets in 1103.20.
If 80% passes 315 micron sieve
Fine particle size per chapter note (B) reclassifies as other cereal flours in 1102.
If dried but not fragmented into meal/pellets
Unprocessed dried barley grains go to Chapter 7, only fragmented products enter Chapter 11.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Document ash content below 3% after mineral deduction, as barley tolerance is higher but strictly enforced
• Use accredited labs for sieve analysis (95% through 1.25mm for non-corn) to distinguish from 1103.31 groats
