Unground wheat/rye equivalents stay in 1101; oats follow similar logic if not worked per 1104 specs.
If high ash content exceeding Note A limits
Excess ash after mineral deduction disqualifies from Chapter 11, shifting to bran/sharps in 2302.

Rolled Oats
Rolled oats are oat grains that have been steamed and flattened between rollers, creating a quick-cooking product used in oatmeal and baking. They fall under HTS 1104.22.00.00 as 'other worked grains of oats' since they are rolled cereal grains, distinct from fine meals or flours in heading 1103.
