Rolled Barley Flakes from China
Rolled barley flakes are produced by steaming and flattening barley grains, resulting in thin flakes suitable for porridge or baking. They fall under HTS 1104.19.10.00 as rolled grains of barley, which are cereal grains otherwise worked but not meeting the fineness criteria for classification in headings 1102 or 1103. This distinguishes them from finer barley meals or grits.
