Jumbo Rolled Oats from Japan
Jumbo rolled oats use larger oat groats for thicker flakes, perfect for hearty granola bars. Under HTS 1104.12.00.90 as 'other' rolled oats, their coarse flake size prevents classification as flour (1102) or fine meal (1103). Chapter notes confirm retention of whole grain character.

Import Tips

• Ensure no additives; pure rolled oats avoid shift to prepared products in 1904
• Declare moisture content <14% to prevent mold claims during transit
