Flaked Oat Groats from Japan
Flaked oat groats are whole oat kernels hulled, steamed, and pressed into flakes for baking or muesli. HTS 1104.12.00.90 covers these as 'other' flaked oats, excluding finer products per chapter sieve tests. They retain germ and bran integrity unlike milled flours.

Import Tips
• Include processing logs proving steam-rolling without grinding to validate 1104 classification
• Test for starch >80% and ash ≤3% to stay in Chapter 11; excess ash routes to 2302
• Package in bulk for 'other' statistical suffix; retail packs may trigger value-based scrutiny
