Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If coarsely ground wheat flour passing 500 micron sieve
Chapter note (B) classifies products with high passage through coarse sieves as wheat flour in 1101, not pellets.
If starch below 80% or ash exceeds limits
Failing Chapter 11(A) criteria moves bran/meal products to 2302 as low-starch cereal by-products.
If made from corn groats rather than wheat
Pellets from different cereals like corn fall under specific 1103.13.00 subheading by grain type.
